Millions of turtles here in this river... one spot we counted 12 in a row on a large log. Saw another turtle underwater with his shell the size of a dinner plate!

Yes there are a few snapping turtles here. (The others had zippers) lol, Most turtles jumped into the water as we approached and they totally diappeared. Never really tried to pursue them.

agreed! they jumped off the logs very rapidly! Maybe on dry land they might be slower, but in the water they are quite fast and great swimmers!

Had to check some numbers just for fun. Average speed in water for a turtle is 10-12mph, with the fastest being 20mph. On land, the turtle is the slowest of the reptiles moving at 3-4 mph maximum.(that was much faster than i thought) I might have guessed 1 mph. A snail travels approximately .002 mph.

a slug wins every time! especially when its fired from a gun! and i have been to Seattle, the official state animal is the slug, because it rains so much, and slugs are crawling everywhere! Do Seahawks eat slugs, worms??? Remember, you are what you eat!

another missing aryanhunter comment in between my 2. he commented and asked what is faster? a snail or a slug. aryanhunter made a reference to seattle, also, i don't remember exactly what he said.
