“I saw a 50 lb one snap a broom handle in two like it was a toothpick.”
Grew up in South Louisiana. A 100 pound logger head turtle is to be respected. Yes they do get that big and sometimes bigger. They can take your arm off.
holy sh1t!!!
Those little fellers will eat just about anything they can get in their mouth, including other turtles. They can crack the shell of the average Red Eared Slider easily. Soft shelled turtles don’t have a chance. Never witnessed it but my East Texas Cousin (Most times that would be a red flag right there) caught one while fishing for gators. He was using whole chickens for bait, it weighed just under 200 lbs. They kept it in a big galvanized horse trough. He kept it for awhile until it grabbed and ate his wife’s favorite cat when it got a little to curious.
I saw that GIF, and I thought that guy was bat s**t crazy, knowing how far out their neck can extend and twist, but I accept he must know a hell of a lot more about them than I do to grab them by their carapace like that!
I wouldn’t mess with one of those things, not even in jest. I had a friend who flipped one over on its back with a broomstick and in an instant the thing fully extended its neck, righted itself and was ready.
I wouldn’t get within ten feet of one of those!
You are obsolete in your whining Mitch bashing
I guess in our world, we are going to have to settle for nibbles.
Except for Trump. That man bites hard.
There are many things which cause me to abhor McConnell, but...his treatment of the judicial approval process is one with which I am so pleased that I nearly completely overlook his faults.
We need that more than ever if there is ever to be any hope of getting this country back, the judiciary is so corrupted to the Left.
And he has done a stellar job at that.
Looked like Bill Clinton going for some unsuspecting gal’s mammaries and having the tables turned on him...
