Snapping Turtle - Long road to recovery and freedom
This snapping turtle was in our care for 8 long months. It was struck by a car by the banks of the Schuylkill river. Its shell was severed by the impact. After carefully fusing the sections of shell, the long, slow recovery began. But, snapping turtles hibernate during the winter. So, we provided room and board until the weather permitted a safe release.
