Giverny

Today, me and maria went to the creek afterschool.

We found a giant turtle hiding in shallow water under a thorn brush, almost 1.5 feet long. It had claws, a long tail, and a smooth shell. It weighed a ton and was really hard to push. The turtle also tried to bite us. In the end, we left it alone.

Later, using the beautiful Wikipedia, we found out that it was an adult Common Snapping turtle.

It looked like that, but bigger.
