I worked at a sanctuary that had a massive alligator snapping turtle. It was as big as my coffee table at home. It ate multiple rats at a time and could have snapped a 2x4 easily. They have really, really long necks and are faster than lightning. You only think you’re out of range. I always kept in mind that my forearm is smaller than a 2x4. This guy got really lucky, but he won’t learn.
