I have a snapping turtle story from back in the 70's. I was driving to a store and noticed this snapping turtle booking down a driveway towards the road I was on which was a main road. So I pulled over, went and picked him or her up (by the sides of course, cuz they will reach around and try to bite you), and placed him on the passenger side floor of my car. He crawled under the seat. My plan was to release him into a creek near our house when I got home, and that was accomplished.
The funny part is on the way back from the store, I picked up a hitchhiker (we used to do that back then), and I told him "just so you know, there's a snapping turtle under your seat". He didn't say anything, but I always wondered what his thought process was. Lol.
