Damn, I thought snapping turles were bad! I bet if they looked like that, them good ol’ boys who noodle for catfish would stop.

And to think I petted one of these when it was a baby! I think. Might have been a Green Sea Turtle.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. A gaping hole filled with spiky tentacle things is way more terrifying than just seeing a turtle beak.

That’s one of the many problems I have with Lucas and his goddamn Special Editions.

Those aren’t teeth, in the sense of bone/enamel, etc. They’re made of keratin, which is in hair and skin.

Also, keratin as in claws and horns and fingernails and scales and porcupine quills. OK, feathers too, but still…

I didn’t wake up this morning expecting to learn that leatherbacks have porcupine quills running down their entire esophagus, but Friday always has its horrifying surprises.
