Walao you got sharp eyes for detail. It was housed in a tank with some other monsters in a RESTAURANT! Meant for display only but I guess it can be on the plate if someone pay generously for it.

Both you n bsplenden are right. I think it is a alligator snapping turtle. 1st time seeing live in front of me. Looks awesome.
