the tale (tail) of king asa...

yesterday rach and i flew out the door and looked back to see a little piece of prehistoria on our own doorstep. not quite knowing whether our visitor was a good thing or a bad thing, 'we' decided that the best possible thing to do in this situation was to:

a) make rach (and not me) run back in the house (past the mini-dinosaur) to grab the camera and snap a picture.

b) name the creature king asa (rach's call).

c) do as much wiki research as possible on this spike-from-'landbeforetime'-lookalike as possible.

ladies and gentlemen i present to you king asa the alligator snapping turtle:
