Looks like a snapping turtle. I give those dinosaurs mad respect. Every snapper I encounter gets a pass. The really big ones, who knows how many decades they have been around. Hissing and slow until you get to the front end. Really an impressive predatory beast with a terrible attitude.
Their handles are their tail and the front of their shell. The last time I encountered one was on open ground. He'd never let me get behind him. He'd always turn and face me. Many people think turtle immediately means slow. That's not the case with the snapping turtle. I finally walked off and let him be. He won the day.

Old timers always said; when he locks onto something with those jaws, he won't let go until it thunders.
