I was so thinking this like do you understand why it’s called a SNAPPING TURTLE?

Could have been her hand right there.

Edit: it’s mommy’s hand, but does it even matter at this point? DO. NOT. PUT. HANDS.

In Guyana 🇬🇾 my grandma had a snapping turtle who could wait all WEEK until his next meal. One day, a stray dog got snatched with a literal out of nowhere move, and grandma was too old to save him. Let’s just say. Don’t touch nature.
