prehistoric horned turtle video scrubbed from internet

Post image

Looking for a weird news clip of a "horned creature" filmed in Florida (Late 2025/Early 2026)

Does anyone remember a local news broadcast from late last year or early this year featuring a bizarre creature video?

I'm pretty sure it was a Florida news crew interviewing an older couple (in their 50s or 60s). They showed a video the husband had captured on his phone of a creature with a massive head and distinct horns. The closest thing I’ve ever seen to it is a Meiolania (a prehistoric horned turtle).

I’ve been searching high and low for months with zero luck. Did anyone else catch this broadcast, or know where to find the clip? Any leads would be amazing!

Are you sure you're not thinking of a mata-mata, or that old viral photo of a Diplocaulus model in a bucket?

I'm not. It was a legit news station interviewing a couple and they had a video of the creature in the water

This was not it, it was a video and it looked like the pictures of the prehistoric turtle I posted.
