A coincidence...

The story and picture remind me of my encounter with a green turtle at the Oahu Bay.

It was a very long time ago when I was scuba diving near the Oahu harbor.

It was a disappointing scuba event as the corals were either dead or dying.

But, at least, there were a few friendly green turtles swimming around me. One guy came very close to me.

I put my hand in front of his head and then he suddenly bit my index finger.

He wouldn't let my finger go and the bite stayed on. By shaking of the hand, I was able to get my finger released.

Fortunately, he didn't seem to have sharp teeth. His mouth seemed to have a bony ridge as his teeth.

His bite was painful but did not penetrate my skin.

Then, I was in a busy surgical practice and couldn't afford any injuries on my index finger.

Just let you guys know that turtles are not as gentle as they look. Stay away from his mouth.
