Snapping Turtle Surprise Buried in the Garden

Occurred on June 4, 2020 / Rhode Island, USA

Info from Licensor: "Every year we get snapping turtles that come into the yard. But this was the first time one was ever fully hidden and buried that we know of. I was completely unaware that they did this. It was a very hot day and I think it buried itself to cool off. I was in the garden to weed that bed and could have lost a finger."
