Yesterday my brother came over to show me a HUGE Alligator Snapping Turtle he caught in our friends pond! That turtle probably weighed over 50 lbs! I wanted to take a picture but my camera battery was dead. I noticed these big leeches all over it so I got as many off as I could and they released it in the creek down the road. I wonder how old it was, I’m sure it was much older than me! It was the biggest Alligator Snapping Turtle I’ve ever personally seen! Beautiful! I now have a jar full of leeches.. For any of you who don’t know what an Alligator Snapping Turtle looks like, here is a beautiful photograph of one for you. -- source link
