        In fact, it is very easy to grab a turtle. Why is he doing this? I mean, it is nice what he did, but there a better and easier way to do it. Nice anyway.

        They are called snapping turtles for a reason. That one could take off a finger.

        Snapping turtles are MEAN little animals. Quite a few around here in ponds, creeks, etc. A big one can take a finger off!

        you can pick them up from the back and move them. I have done that 3 times in the past 2 years were I live. ONe was huge!!!! I think this officer is afraid or doesnt realize their head cant reach the very back.
