well turtle soup anyone? 🥣
They were enormous, and extremely dangerous.
*Dog sounds as Fifi is dragged off by a snapping turtle*
They can grow to 6’
and they breed that quickly huh?
I think they spent a long time breeding and all came out at once.
I hate that
ah ok
Their heads can stay animated for long periods of time too
But yeah, snapper soup was a thing for a while, and it wasn't half bad.
haha ok
My (grandfather?) Once killed one that had a head that kept snapping for literal hours
Sheesh
well we are the human race, we've killed things off before and we can do it again!
here here!
It was still looking around and snapping late in the afternoon. That story always gave me the creeps as a kid
Like it apparently watched them make it into a soup
Granted, this is my dad's story but
ehhhh
Anyone else handing out sugarless gummy bears today
Same with snakes. Even after death, the muscle reaction to snap at whatever touches them is still there. Watched a dead snake moving for over an hour, and every time we poked it, it would snap. Which was difficult since we shot the head off.
I can verify that dogs don't do the same.
My family poodle of 16 years.....oh my goodness.....
how can you verify this? please elaborate
We had to put him down. He couldn't breathe. He was panting and panting night after night, his lungs were just done. Drove him out to the desert. Normally when you put him down, he'd scratch at you to carry him again.
This time, we put him down on a dune, moonlight and stars and everything, and he just sat there staring out.
Like he knew it was his time. And he quit panting and wheezing. He just sat there.
So a $0.80 shot of .380 later, he was gone.
Much cheeper than the $100 to put him down at the vet.
that's true
We buried him on his bed. He was a good dog. An asshole, but a good dog.
Guys I looked up the snapping turtle thing?
My dad wasn't making it up
lol show us
According to Reddit, it can take like
Five hours for the snapping to stop
amazing how that works
Science
(my phone has no auto cropping thing)
This is quite disturbing lol
Yeah, no lie
