1. So cute, at least when they are babies. I was envisioning a nightmare scenario.

Several years ago, on a Sunday that was the 4th of July, I was shocked to see a huge snapping turtle on our deck. It must have been at least 2 1/2 feet long from nose to tail, and looked like a small dinosaur.

I figured some jerky teenage boys had probably put it there as a prank, and was further shocked to find claw marks on the stairs of the deck - who knew turtles can climb stairs?!

4. Woah, not your average deck guest!

How long did it take to leave?

2. A long time ago...

I was visiting someone in southern Massachusetts and I stepped outside to find about a dozen of these little creatures. I did the same thing, gathered them up and took them to the nearby pond. As I let them go, the last one stopped and craned its neck and looked up at me like it was saying, "cool, human!"

3. Hee, hee, hee, little cuties! And good on you, 2na!
