that’s what i thought as well. It’s curious and highly unlikely that there wouldn’t be tears of some sort on the back of the spine area, however, seeing as the shell is an integral part of the turtle’s spine.[/quote]
This makes sense, as well.
I honestly have no fucking idea what a turtle looks like without it’s shell - I’ve seen only a handful of the bastards in my life and have never given them much of a second look.
The paws don’t look like what I would imagine a turtle’s too, either…not too efficient for traveling through the ocean.
It’s a drowned dog. I found one once when I was a kid. It was bloated up and purple like that, and all of its hair was missing. The one in the photograph has a funny looking jaw because part of it was eaten away by crabs.
"Meanwhile, Newsday petitioned William Wise, director of Stony Brook University’s Living Marine Resources Institute, to take a look and comment on the photo. While he couldn’t say what it is, he knows what it’s not:
A raccoon. (“The legs appear to be too long in proportion to the body.”)
A sea turtle. (“Sea turtles do not have teeth.”)
A rodent. (“Rodents have two huge, curved incisor teeth in front of their mouths.”)
He said the general body shape looks like a dog or other canine (“Coyote?”). But that the “prominent eye ridge and the feet” don’t match.
He said the feet and face look “somewhat ovine” - that would be like a sheep - but sheep don’t have sharp teeth.
Wise’s best estimation: “A talented someone who got very creative with latex.”
Turtles are connected to their shell, their shell is actually part of their bone structure, this thing clearly appears to have a skin or atleast a fleshy casing, turtles aren’t fleshy on their limbs or neck their rough and scaley, and their interals covered by shell aren’t incased in a flesh.
Dogs don’t have rodent teeth or a beak.
The biggest reason it looks fake is that mixed up limbs, the front quarter has some kind of fused paw. A usefull thing if the animal is water dwelling, but the rear paws are not hydrodynamic at all. For the front quarter to be usefull as the sole means to get the thing through water its elbow would be fused and it wouldn’t have such a FAT ASS!!.

This is by far the most plausible explanation.

Dude, quit lying to us. Franklin takes his shell off regularly.
And in case anyone was wondering what that thing really is - I have at least 3 dozen or so of them in the hidden room off my basement. It’s called a Canitortswine. It’s a hybrid between a Rottweiler, snapping turtle and pot-bellied pig. It’s an excellent food source for Minotaurs (which is why I have so many of them).
I thought you guys meant hairloss due to bloating or something. I have seen mange on a dogs and the skin looks nothing like this, it usually still has small hairs and a rough texture. This shit looks like a baby rats skin.
