Looks like a species of snapping turtle once thought gone was found here in Houston!

Thanks Kevin . This is a alligator snapping thought to be extinct in the Houston area in Texas . But low and behold the floods found this lady snapper with hooks stuck in her mouth . She got fixed up and released.

I found it interesting. I wonder why the wildlife people don't just breed and release them.

 

[mike taylor]

I was thinking the same thing .

That is awesome. . Were they just believed to be extinct in Harris co. When that tornado hit Johnson country a friend came across one outside of cleburne, between between Glen rose and cleburne. .
