In 2010 I spent most of my time with mom at her house, she was 93 then, and since mom was boring I made many videos and took a lot of photos.
Mom had about 10 or so box turtles and as you can see Max didn't mind sharing a meal with the turtle. In fact, the turtle moved towards Max and like the smart kitty he is he moved out of the turtles way.
Did you know that turtles can actually run?
They're pretty fast too.

I have seen turtles take off at a good rate of speed. Of course, these are the snapping turtles that I am referring to. If one gets a bit of food off of the bank of the marsh and thinks that another animal is going to take it away it seems to run to the water to eat its meal in peace.

@rebelann Sandy is not afraid of snapping turtles. She has actually killed one that was quite large. 
It was coming from the pond across the way to the marsh behind our house. We were both quite amazed that she was able to kill it. I don't know why she likes to eat fresh meat but there are times when she amazes me at what she kills. It is also rather gross.

She sounds like Sugarbear, she was a husky mix and would hunt for her own food even though they always fed her dog food @Shellyann36 Is Sandy mixed husky?

So you don't like reptiles?
I don't care for spiders but I've got a friend has a tarantula
