Chonkosaurus




 You know how we hard-hearted Chicagoans have a soft spot for animals, the crocodile, the plovers, that hole in the sidewalk, and now in our very own river we have Chonkosaurus,   the city’s beloved celebrity snapping turtle.  Other cities may be bigger, they may be richer, they may have better sports teams, but what other city can claim a beloved celebrity snapping turtle?

And a bit of romance, or is it a story of cheating and betrayal?  Members of the Institute are free to speculate and if Beagle's gabby little buddy Mr Chatterbox wishes to join in, why Its opinion would be welcome too.
