Snapping turtle ... in the garage!

This week, I heard something moving around inside the garage, the garage doors were closed and it was late afternoon.  I thought it might be a raccoon since one was raiding our sunflower seed in the garage last week.  Instead, it was a common snapping turtle looking for a new home.  It was small with a shell about 9" long.  I saw a much larger version in our front field about a month ago.  We are about a quarter mile from any significant water so the little fellow was on a significant road trip.  I put him in a 5 gallon bucket and drove down the the boat dock on the Barren River to release him.  He seemed happy to be back in the water!
