Default Huge sea turtle
Another photo taken while on vacation in Hawaii.
This giant turtle and lots of others would come up on shore to sleep and relax after dinner each day. Rest assured the beast looks dead but is alive.

yes it's alive for sure lol. We took a few pics with me and my wife beside it as well. We didn't know until after that it is illegal in the state of Hawaii to approach or disturb turtles. Good thing the law wasn't around
