A friend of mine was working by the river the other day and came across an Alligator Snapping turtle! It scared the heck out of him snapping and hissing like mad. It was a couple feet long and mean. Well I guess someone decided he didn't make a good pet so they dumped him. He called fish and wildlife and they came down and told him it was an Alligator snapping turtle and they're not from around here. They took it to Wild life Safari were he is being taken care of, so a happy ending. I guess it goes to show you never know what you'll come across.
Here's a picture of one I got off the Internet. I did get to see pictures of the one he found and it looked bigger.
