A creature with claws, long arms and a prehistoric appearance scared a mother and daughter while fishing in a lake in Minnesota, USA.
The episode took place in July and the photo of the aquatic animal was shared by Shala Holm on her Facebook profile. In the end, it was indeed an animal with ancient ancestors, but a huge tortoise.
According to the In The Know website, Shala and her family were spending their holidays at Niemeyer’s Rugged River Resort, a nature preserve highly sought after by fishing enthusiasts.
During a canoe trip, he and his daughter had the opportunity to do some fishing. When the girl reached the middle of the lake, she noticed that something big was breathing under the water, near the boat.
Later, the two of them were startled when they saw the huge turtle clinging to the fish basket.
“It took me a while to get rid of it!” Holm wrote in the post.
Despite the surprise, Shala and her daughter were delighted with the discovery and decided to return to the same location the next day to take pictures of the creature.
Like last time, they used some fish from the basket to attract the turtle, and after waiting for a while, the animal appeared.
Shala wrote in another post, “It didn’t disappoint us. I saw this when I put another fish in the basket. I was pretty scared!”
The woman could not report the approximate size of the animal, but she believes it is at least 100 years old.
