Why're you snapping at me then? Sheesh!

Was up at the lake this weekend and found that the snapping turtles are out on dry land laying their eggs. Saw two of them.
This one I had my camera handy so I snapped a couple of pics. The shell was about 15" front to back and she weighed probably 20-25 lbs.
I remember as a kid we had two white ducks. They spent their days hanging out in the creek by our house. One day the drake didn't come home and we looked for him for 3 days. Finally found him in some weeds in the creek and he had a smaller one one of these guys hanging on his foot. Duck was about done in and soon enough would have lost the fight. Dad scooped them both up and had to cut the turtle's head off in order to get it to release it's bite on the duck. Once they get ahold of you they DO NOT let go.
We kept the drake penned up for about a week and then he was better.
Snapping turtles are rather prehistoric looking things.
