I was walking up a rocky slope by a river close to my house when suddenly the rock on a ledge in front of my face moved. I jumped back startled and realized it was a big snapping turtle. The river was flooding and it must have climbed onto the rocks to rest from the rushing water. Here's a couple photos I took with my phone.
That turtle is fat.
Odd place to find a snapper, but they are excellent climbers and escape artists.
Thumbs up on the shots.
