'LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT F—KING THING'
America's Favorite Botanist Joey Santore Was Floored After Seeing A Giant Snapping Turtle Up-Close
If you're unfamiliar with the great Joey Santore, he's answered noobs' questions, always dropped knowledge, never skimped on presentation and also taken us along his travels.
Recently he found a Chicago River Snapper turtle and recorded the moment for his fans.
Chicago River Snapper aka Chonkosaurus. Great to see this beast thriving here on what was once such a toxic river, but is slowly getting cleaned up & restored. Somebody planted a bunch of native plants up the river from here, too. I can only wonder this things been eating. pic.twitter.com/u6bhlpo4p5

Joey and Al spotted this giant snapping turtle on the Chicago River and captured it on video in all it's glory.
