You should not be so quick to dismiss the possibility there was or still is a giant turtle. As, giant turtles get to be giant turtles because they are the "exception to the rule"- meaning their genetics are predisposed to gigantism. Turtles learn most of the threats they face are above water, & most of what they eat is underwater-so the smarter ones stay below the surface as much as possible, ensuring long life- and so grow larger than other turtles. I learned of this story long ago and believe it very well COULD be true, think on this... have you ever seen a dead turtle? the only dead turtles we ever see are the ones that try to cross a road and get hit- 95% of turtles die where they live- underwater. Point being... the giant turtle likely died of old age & rotted away never to be seen again. Gigantism is a real "thing" and there are underwater creatures that enjoy what is called- indeterminate growth! For instance, there are credible reports from divers inspecting bridges- of catfish big enough to swallow a man whole lurking in the Ohio river. Please forgive if this comes across as a kick at your shins, as you have my respect for diving into cryptozoology, I encourage you to continue your research & you have my support, subscription and thumbs up :) Who the H am I? - just a well informed old codger with a proclivity to interject his opinion without being asked ;)
@xaedmon I love this theory! I'm all for everyone's ideas! Also, I welcome everyone's comments as long as they are not rude, and I enjoyed reading your theory here very much!
