I went to the Adventure Aquarium today over in Camden and saw a Mata-Mata Turtle. It legit looked like it was straight out of a Kaiju movie. Its back had vertical moss spots that looked like tiny little pine trees growing on a hillside. I could imagine it being hundreds of feet wide and happily nestled into a series of mountains.
