FOUND THIS OLD TURTLE ON MN HIGHWAY 23

FOUND THIS OLD TURTLE ON MN HIGHWAY 23 near Oak Park. A Snapper about 15” long, she was flipped on her back on the asphalt, spinning around with the wind blasts of every car and truck that passed over her—none of whom stopped or slowed down. Managed—with her enthusiastic opposition—to move her to safety in the marshy ditch. Aside from a few minor abrasions on shell and nose, she seemed OK, with all appendages and jaws definitely working. Hopefully a long life yet to live. Good luck, Old Turtle!
