This large turtle – possibly a snapping turtle – was spotted along Rt. 9 in Lakewood near Central Avenue.
Attention Parents: Educate your children never to attempt to play with or tease these creatures, as they can be extremely aggressive.
(Thank you NCK)
As well as a big turtle on Cedarbridge before the parkway
This is seemingly a myth, that snapping turtles are dangerous.

Better yet, teach your children not to approach ANY wild critter, fox, turtle, deer, racoon etc.
