Check Out This Monster

[RPG]

Found this little guy sunning in the highway by the house. There's a small branch that runs through the edge of the property and beavers have it damed up. A great place for this type critter. This one though, I figured would be better off in the pond than splattered all over the highway.

He's a cute one but them claws can do as much damage as that jaw.

I live by a pond and I always have to pick up them turtles off the road and give them a lift
back to the pond so they don't get run over.

I throw them in the passenger side of the jeep and give them a stern talking to on the way
about the hazards of playing in the road.

Alligator snapper. Very prehistoric creature. Quiet tasty in 30 years. Nice rescue RPG.

If I may correct you sir, it's a 'common Snapper', Alligator snappers have more pronounced ridges on their backs.

I don't care what kind it is, if you hadn't moved it, it would've gotten squished or eaten by something

Nice one, those guys still have some dinosaur in them. Live about as long as humans and get well over 200 pounds.

snappers are tough but no match for a car -- if left to normal hazards --they can live as long as a human can in many cases --and once big is as mean and nasty as they come --can eazily take off a finger when bigger

i too often help turtles and "land tortosies" --aka --gopher tortosie cross the roads when i see em.
