Snap Turtle

I was driving to work when this turtle thought he wanted to cross the road. Snap turtles are so reminiscent of dinosaurs.

That's so cute! Did you move him so he wouldn't get run over? =)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They're also quite nasty! I do hope he made it to safety though.

[Babs]

Hope it managed to cross the road without getting squashed.

@marlboromaam No they hurt seriously if they clamp onto you. I saw no dead turtle in the road on my return

[Corinne C]

So cute and courageous to cross that road

How fabulous, I have notseen one before.

A wonderful turtle.

[Wylie]

I hope you dissuaded him!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Oh not that big Maybe 8 inches. But with a powerful jaw. See Betsy above

[Dione Giorgio]

Never seen one like him. Is he lying on his back? if so, it may be difficult for him to get back on his feet.

[Valerie Chesney]

Such a delight, hope he made it safely.

[Lou Ann]

Hope he made it!
