I'm glad to hear it's being rescued and not eaten.

I'd be terrified of getting in the water with it, softshells have a nasty bite, I can only imagine what a 400lb one would do to you...

 

[OddBallKeeper]

Cool I want one

 

[busterbrown]

good to see they were helping and letting it go. that thing was beast and had to of been pretty old

 

[latshki]

the capture was for a vet check concerning the cuts on its head
I wish the last 4 of these guys would be put together in a good, experienced breeding facility

Shows what I know.I wasn't aware of a freshwater aquatic turtle that grew to such a size.

 

[Jackson]

That's good news

It's said to be more than or 100 years old. That's crazy

x2.

I used to have a tiny spiny softshell (2"), and it's bite hurt quite a bit. That huge one could probably take off one's hand!

"That huge one could probably take off one's hand!" HAHAHAHA Try half of your body in one bite!!! The head on that thing has to be around 3' wide!!!!!
