I am not sure about that one...lol

Its an interesting turtle known for the lack of shell.

It is a Cantor's giant soft-shelled turtle. This peculiar-looking species named Cantor's Giant Soft-shelled Turtle is a species of fresh water turtle that has a broad head and small eyes close to the tip of its snout. It can grow up to 6 feet (about 2meters) in length and weigh more than 100 pounds (about 50 kilograms). The unusual turtle spends 95% of its life buried and motionless, with only its eyes and mouth protruding from the sand. It surfaces only twice a day to take a breath.

It wouldnt make much of a smoker now would it
