I got a flat tire while riding bicycle today, which sucked. This big snapping turtle was hanging out on the road right where I had to pull over. I tried to move him so he wouldn't get hit, but he hissed at me, thrashed around, tried to bite me and whip me with his tail! I said, "fine, if you want to get hit that's your business!" and left him be.
