Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macroclemys temmincki)

Happy Halloween!! North America's largest freshwater turtle lies in wait for its prey, still as death.... till something triggers this pre-dinosaur to snap shut its jaws with the force of a hatchet!!!!! July 30, 2009, Tampa Bay Lowry Park Zoo

I'd guess it's just you! (I meant thinking that way, not you in the pic!)

I love this pic :) Looking at the pic in your link, the upper mouth line of the turtle matches Lemmy’s horseshoe moustache and the uplooking eyes too – Yep, definitely Lemmy’s animal match
