Looks like a common snapper to me.

Oh, I believe it’s one of those “will bite two of your fingers clean off” tort
- Perhaps. It did hiss at me.
That's a snapper. It's a mean bastard and will bite your shit right off. Getting them to leave the road can be a real battle.
- I just walked behind him and he went.
  
  Ive shooed many of these big boys off the road. This is the best method, peferably while shouting 'git you turtle! Shoo!'.
Ah, you found a dragon! By which I mean a snapping turtle. Probably the species called common snapping turtle.

Fun ~~fact~~ opinion: snapping turtles look way more elegant in the water than on land.
- Dragon lol
  
  They definitely look more like dragons than, like, any other turtles do.
