Found it. They say it's an alligator snapper.

Definitely an alligator. The "beak" is another tell-tale.

That bit HAD to put a puncture wound in his arse. The other day I wanted to take a picture of the 2 common and 3 alligator snapping turtles together so I put them on the ground. A smaller alligator snapper bit the 40 lber I had and put a nice size hole in the skin of its back leg. I was astounded by the damage that little bastard had inflicted when I butchered that 40 lber the next day (yesterday).
