Softshell turtles barely have shells, have fairly smooth skin, and look as if they’re currently on a killing spree that will halt for no man, woman, or child. They look like the spawn of a soggy burrito, a hot dog, and a dinosaur, as previously stated; they don’t look very much like the turtles we’ve all come to know and be creeped out
