It’s turtle crossing season everywhere across the states. If you find one roadside you can help by moving it across in the same direction it was heading. Most are out to lay eggs, look for mates or the pond dried up. Give them a hand, don’t take them home. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1751374692451771/?

Built like a pancake. Strikes like a predator.

Meet the Spotted Softshell Turtle — evolution’s oddball masterpiece.
Its shell isn’t hard. It’s leathery. Flexible. Designed for stealth, not defense.

This isn’t your average basking turtle.
It buries itself in sand, neck stretched like a sniper’s barrel, waiting for prey to drift close…
Then it strikes — fast, precise, brutal.

Here’s the wild fact:
Its long snout isn’t just weird — it’s a snorkel.
These turtles can lie submerged for hours, breathing through their nose while remaining invisible to predators and prey alike.

In a world of armor, this turtle chose speed.
In a world of curves, it became a disc of death.
