Tiny terrapin finds him/herself in the middle of the road

This intrepid tiny terrapin found him/herself in the middle of the road. Maybe washed into the street by the intense rains or maybe just out for a crawl. Nevertheless, one of our team members was happy to move it out of harm's way! This little omnivore, or Chelydra Serpentina, can live on average for 25-30 years or longer.  Fun fact: The largest common snapping turtle recorded in Massachusetts was 76.5 lbs. and was found in the Town of Orange.
