man, do you know that this kind of turtle is all over in China now?

people here keep them as pets when they are little, i mean really little, but when they get bigger, most of the keepers can't afford to keep them because the "space" problem so they are set free in chinese local rivers...now we can see reports in the news that people found monster-like turtles in the wild chinese rivers.....i know they are alligator snapping turtles......

Actually they are not the largest. Maybe the heaviest but not tip to tip.
