Not a Troll But a Turtle
This big one was under a bridge. My aunt spotted it as we passed by... I have never seen one this big in nature. Too bad there was no good size comparison nearby. ... I wonder if its tail can still go inside the shell with all those scales and spikes.

I've never seen a turtle quite like this one. It looks like an aquatic species, yet it has spikes on its tail and it looks rough like a land-based one.
How big was it?

Lea, did you find this guy in the Pacfic NW, looks like a tortoise? I like your image with the little guy seeming to be at odds with the wall.

It's difficult to guess now how big... hmm, I'd say the shell was about a foot long. This one is from a fresh water river outside of Ottawa, Ontario.
