Watch out for these nasty creatures on the Greenway [PIC]

Great. So if the bugs and the snakes weren't enough reason for people not to move here, now we have psychotic killer turtles overtaking our greenways.

Snapping turtles are like alligators...they LOOK slow and ponderous, but if provoked, they can rise up and dash incredibly fast over short distances.

When I was around 16, we had a BIG one (I mean about a foot long) in our front yard. It was like watching a komodo dragon dart around. I took him over to the local general store - they sold turtles out of an old bathtub, for folks to make turtle stew out of That was interesting...
