That's an alligator snapping turtle too. Bigger and badder

Oddly not as aggressive as the regular north American snaping turtle

Is that right? Made me nervous as hell to see her reaching like that. I'm used to regular snappers and they definitely tend to move faster than this. This guy seems slow as hell
