Snapping Turtle Rescue

I was headed to a report of two four wheelers racing up and down Rt. 209, when I came across this huge snapping turtle in the middle of Rt. 209 Phippsburg's major road. I pulled over and put on my emergency lights to warn traffic and grabbed my big plastic shovel. The turtle was extremely aggressive trying to snap at me. I was able to get it over onto the soft shoulder after a couple of minutes. He then disappeared under the guardrail into the swamp. I love to help save animals even turtles!
