What am I??

[FloridaHogs]

I stopped traffic to pull this guy out of a busy road. I know what he is, do you?

[marmie]

Armadillo (sp?)?

That my friend would be an alien.


Or a turtle.

[tigerlily]

Soft shell turtle?

[FloridaHogs]

Soft shell turtle?

Bingo! I was shocked to see it in the middle of the road, especially since there isn't any water nearby!!







And a pic with my hand so you can see how big it is....I am going to carry it to a creek to release it tomorrow.

[tigerlily]

Yeah, I win!

That is one large turtle! Very cool, and very lucky it didn't get run over. You probably already know but be careful when releasing it. If you put it in the same area it will probably try to hone in on the same area. I hope he/she's learned the lesson to not play in the streets.

[FloridaHogs]

Well, I am going to release it in a creek at the back of someones property away from any busy streets.

[jknudson]

Nice snag! Hopefully he's grateful for you rescuing him.

[FloridaHogs]

Well it hasn't hissed or try to bite me, just looks at me with those big soulful eyes.....

[Reptotica26]

OMG, that is the most hideous thing I have ever seen! but an animal nonetheless. Are they indigenous to your area? Maybe it was a pet, being the reason it hasnt bitten or hissed at you.
