Snapping turtle with mossy shell rests in a dirt nest near grassy roadside in Pringle, S.D.
Snapping turtles don’t use crosswalks.
They’re nesting now. And often in roadside spots!
Slow down in wetland areas, and if you can safely help one across, always go the direction it’s headed. (Watch your fingers!)
