Damn, you guys gotta get a look at this turtle.

Two people from New Zealand were on a boat and they saw this big turtle and filmed it. Good on those two because wow, I would not have believed them if they didn't have it on camera.

I mean, hell yeah at the size of this thing. Throw some wheels on this guy and you've got a Toyota Camry, you know what I mean? You could eat a Thanksgiving dinner with your whole family on the back of this guy.
