FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. – A 65-pound alligator snapping turtle was found trying to cross a road in Fairfax County, Virginia. Police shared the story and pictures on Twitter Sunday. Officers named the alligator snapping turtle “Lord Fairfax” and took him to a nearby animal hospital. He has since been relocated to a zoo in Norfolk. Alligator snapping turtles are not native to Virginia, so authorities think it was likely someone’s pet.
