Mr. Grumpy
I found this little guy walking through my side yard yesterday as I was heading back to work after lunch. I call him Mr. Grumpy. Click on the image to embiggin.
Oh, and by little guy, I of course mean at least 18-20 inches head to tail.

If you go to this link towards the bottom of the page there are several photos of a snapping turtle that looks as if he could be Mr. Grumpy's cousin... Mr. Poopy Pants?

While on vacation last week there was a snapping turtle in the middle of road (on Beaver Island in the middle of Lake MI). A man was trying to push him to the side of the road with a stick so he wouldn't get run over. The turtle starting jumping! It jumped all 4 feet off the ground and lunged at the man. It bit his stick in two and started hissing and jumping some more. I now have turtle phobia!
