Fantastic! I love turtles
Joey Santore sounds like he’s from the Bronx.
oldage mutant chonky turtles
Maybe we could get a few Congress critters to go take a close look at him/her/them.
Kayaking on the Chicongo river?
Is that like taking a dip in your cesspool?
Lol
Was hoping he could get in a āOver by dairā. I grew up in Chicago and that guy has the quintessential accent. Ah, jeeze. Tell yer mahm I sez hi.
Ooooh. Aaaaaaaaaah.
Chonko says your boat looks tasty
This guy is probably over 100 years old.
How did he survive that long in the Chicago River?
He must have immunity to EVERYTHING!
I might’ve seen that turtle in a Walmart store lately, thinking it was one of the usual customers.
GEEZ! Reminds me of our current Governor Fatass. I think the turtle could do a better job in Springfield.
During my daily walks by the Rock River, this year I have seen a large number of turtles, for the first time. Iām pretty sure that theyāre not snapping turtles, but they are at least 50-60 yards from my closest vantage point.
This is the first year I have seen them, there are at least a couple dozen sunning themselves on some logs. A few are, Iām guessing, 12-16 inches in length.
Nowhere near the size of this bad boy. Snapasaurus Rex!
I love turtles too. Biggest snapper we ever caught has a shell 38 inches long and his head was 4 inches across. He tasted good.
Do not place your finger or arm or foot anywhere near this turtle. You probably won’t get them back, at least not all in one piece. Snapper look sluggish but they can move very quickly when something looks good to eat.
I live a good ways north of this guy. I remember when all the sportsmans clubs would rent a bar or supper club for the annual all you can eat turtle frys.
Turtle, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, saurkraut, sometimes another vegetable like peas, and knee caps.
The fancy places had chocolate knee caps. No one ever ate the chocolate ones, they were just there to tell you that you were enjoying a fine dining experience.
I really miss that.
