I was being chased by my crush who was riding a giant snapping turtl

I got a halarious review of my Aquarium today and I need people to see this shit so bad

Okay, we all read that? Good. You’re probably wondering why the fuck someone would question whether or not we have a turtle at the aquarium that’s real. It’s because he’s a 98 year old lazy Alligator Snapping Turtle. He can hold his breath for almost an hour. The old man is not active, and he shows us no interest in being active.

Behold! The “fake” “plastic” turtle in question!!!!

But seriously, if you are ever at a Zoo or an Aquarium and have questions about the animals or their welfare, you can always ask any of the staff and they are always happy to help educate you. Do not assume you know the whole story.

Smile like the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina)! This robust reptile, found throughout the eastern and central United States, as well as certain regions of southern Canada, can grow to exceed 70 lbs (31.8 kg) in weight. Its diet includes nearly anything it can catch: Birds, small mammals, fish, and aquatic vegetation are all on the menu. The common snapping turtle is also relatively long- lived, with some individuals surviving for 30 years in the wild—and even longer in captivity.
