FFS, both times I’ve hauled my sick ass out on turtle-rescuing duty today, I forgot the camera! But, turtle successfully herded/carried/herded/carried (you get the idea) to the local pond, where she will hopefully stay and avoid future contact with cars. (Don’t worry, she’s not injured, just scuffed and displeased.)

Florida Softshell Turtle:

They’re utter sweethearts, they have silky soft awesome feets (even if they’re slapping you!) and they’re endangered because people are assholes.

This is one doing the “LOOK AT MY HEAD!” pose:

edit: Conflicting sources on whether or not they’re endangered, but try not to kill them anyway, as they are awesome.

edit-edit: They’re known to be aggressive towards humans, especially when handled.
Maybe I’m the turtle whisperer?
