Awesome!
I wish the poor terrapins here would get a break, in places they are still very common, but their territory recedes with each new road paved.
Once at a large party, a very mouthy gentleman was bragging about how he used to see em all the time on the road...they made the coolest poppin sound when you hit em...
He made an interesting pop sound himself tho, several interesting sounds as a matter of fact...when I popped him in his mouth, and he rolled several hundred yards down a very steep and rocky hillside...
In hindsight, I don't regret it one bit!
How could anyone hurt such a cute, not defenseless, but offencless creature!
I recently found this "big" girl on a mushroom hunt, as well as several more very mature specimens, and loads of shells from turtles that perished. Once I realized all the shells were huge, it dawned on me, I wasn't in a turtle graveyard, but rather a sactuary!
