I happened to look out our dining room window and saw something in the yard. At first, I thought it was a baby groundhog. Then it started moving towards the driveway and I realized it was a very large snapping turtle. We aren't sure where it came from or where it went. Our Amish neighbors do have a small pond, but I know they don't want it in there as snappers will kill their ducks. Checkout the claws on its left front leg.
@calm - was it a snapping turtle or some other smaller turtle?
I read up on them some and found out that while they are on land they tend to be more aggressive. But if they are in the water they won't bother you. I guess they prefer to be in water and according to the article, they walk on the bottom rather than get out of the water and walking on land.
