16 Jun Snappy delivery

When a foot-long snapping turtle paid a visit to the Burnside offices of Terrain Group, on the shores of Spectacle Lake, yesterday morning, office staff didn’t have to wonder who to call. A Purolator driver took matters in hand and delivered Snappy back to the water.

According to the Nova Scotia Museum website, Nova Scotia snappers emerge from water only in late June and early July to dig a nest and lay eggs.

Contrarian trusts Snappy will find a more felicitous nest site uncontaminated by engineers and couriers.
