At work this morning, a client walked in and said "Did you know you have a turtle in your parking lot?".

We've had a ton of rain lately, and all the streams and ditches are full. This guy was sitting the middle of the (very shallow) puddle in the parking lot. We're in the middle of town...just a bunch of houses and convenience stores around...so I'm not sure where he came from. This evening I'm taking him out to the country and releasing him in a friend's pond where I've seen other snappers. He's a little over a foot long (not including tail) and very very grumpy!
