what the hell this is?!
It's a Cantor’s Giant Soft-shelled Turtle. It's a freshwater turtle that can grow up to about 6 feet in length, and they can weigh about 50 pounds. Its eyes are close to it's snout, and it usually spends it's day buried in the sand with it's eyes and mouth protruding. They were thought to be extinct until a group of researchers found a breeding site on the coast of Cambodia. Now when mating season comes around, it's heavily guarded to the extent where the military protects the beach.
