Huge snapping turtle rescued from Baltimore gutter
Published in Weird News
(UPI) Animal rescuers in Baltimore said they were left scratching their heads when a massive snapping turtle was found wandering in a gutter.
Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter said the large snapping turtle was found Monday morning near Cherry Hill Park, during a time of year when the local snapping turtles are hibernating underwater.
"Some mysteries in life may never be solved. Like, are we alone in the universe? Which came first: the chicken or the egg? And, most importantly, how did this snapping turtle friend end up roaming around Baltimore City?!" BARCS said in a Facebook post.
The snapping turtle is now "safe from the elements and will get the care he needs," the post said.
BARCS said the snapping turtle would be transferred to a wildlife specialist and eventually returned to the wild.
