G'day mates!

Here we see the ferocious HOMICIDAL TURTLE... We don't wanna get too close here, mate.
Image
Ain’t she a beauty? Now, what I’m gonna do, is dangle a piece of lettuce and see if she bites. Watch her as she comes in for the KILL... CRIKEY!
Image
DID YOU SEE THAT! HER FEARSOME JAWS! She RIPPED a whole chunk outta this here lettuce.
Image

Image

Ohh watch ‘er closely, now....As you see here,mates, a HOMICIDAL TURTLE floats near the surface, watching for any unfortunate lettuce that strays too near. Then WHAM! She leaps 2 metres outta the water, GRASPS the lettuce with her strong jaws, and RAKES the lettuce with her claws.
Image

CRIKEY! I’m sure glad I ain't that lettuce!
Image

Now with a full belly, she hauls herself up shore, streches her neck out, and basks.
Image

Then, after she finishes digesting her meal, she waits for her next kill...
Image


Come back next week for some more......HOMICIDAL TURTLES!...

Wow! Funny pics and captions!
I have two baby RES; Emerald(Emmie or Rocky for short, plus she has green ears!) and Pretty. (Don't ask me about her name. My brother named her. He's only 6 1/2.)

Ha! Reminds me of my turtle. One time when he leaped up out of the water he got my finger instead of the shrimp I was holding. I don't think it was an accident either.

I always had the feeling it would happen while he was out in the field doing a shoot. But I always figured it would be a big croc or a venomous snake or something like that, not a stingray though. :shock:
