I find horses disgusting, tbh.
As an avid fisherman I find these to be particularly scary
Only once have I had to battle one big enough to cause considerable harm and good and pissed off enough to do it. I had always wondered why my grandpa kept a machete in the very bottom of his tackle box.... until my uncle pulled one of these fuckers into our boat like an idiot.
Picture this: You're in a small boat, a pole on both sides of you, a snapping turtle the size of a small garbage can lid is down at your feet, less than a foot away. Your tackle box with the only weapon you have (the machete) is behind you. You cant swim (yea, I still cant)
You spin around, dump the tackle box, grab the machete, put your foot on the turtle's back and cut its head off before you even realize what you did.
Horrifying.
