Joni Taylor, of Glen Mills, Penn., relocates a juvenile snapping turtle attempting to cross Waterman Hill Road in Quechee, Vt., on May 23, 2016. This is the time of year when female snapping turtles emerge from the water to lay eggs. Wildlife experts recommend that if you encounter a turtle in the road, the best way to move them is to gently coax them into a box with a shovel, and then carry it to the other side. Wear gloves, as well. (Valley News - Mac Snyder) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission. Send requests to permission@vnews.com.
