I found this turtle trying to cross the road on my way home after work. I was the obnoxious person who put their car’s hazard lights on and stood in the middle of the road until the turtle was safely on the other side. Once I walked up close to him, he took off and was not wasting any time. It’s that time of year! Watch out for them in the roads.

It's a painted turtle, and it looks like there's a tooth mark in its shell.
What would have teeth like that and try to eat him?
