Thinking back to those hot summer days, I still wonder why the alligator snapping turtles would show up only when we did. I'd grab a hold of one of the two foot diameter shells and the turtle would pull me down, down, deeper, colder and deeper still until I thought my lungs would burst; too dark to see
the other slimmy things bumping into me.
I think a fiberglass harness with a rear handlebar that the turtle could glide into would distribute my weight's pull more evenly on the turtle's tender shell.
This has already been done.......

Would this work for alligators as well? |

Skinny dipping and swimming with snapping turtles..... |

This idea has already been cooked underwater [link] |

That would give you turtle soup, n'est-ce pas? |

I dunno about 'skinning dipping', but I am glad that the other things are 'slimmy'. The fat ones could eat you whole!. |

[scout] is right. This happened twenty years ago and the turtle pulled me up river it was so strong. Everytime I see an SUV flying through a stream bed in a commercial I cringe.
{normzone}, [Dr Currey], this is a fresh water species, no salt water involved hot or cold. |
