Walton County, Georgia - Somehow this beast got into a fenced yard and was giving a couple of dogs a run for their money! The homeowner called animal control and our agency went to remove him. His aggression was as big as his shell (carapace), which measured a full twelve inches. Being one of the biggest Snapping Turtles I've seen in a while, I had to get a weight. The puppy scale from the shelter showed it was nearly sixteen pounds!
