A Giant Snapping Turtle Showed Up This Family’s Yard With An Amazing Surprise | The Dodo Wild Hearts

When a giant snapping turtle showed up in Frank Iero's backyard in New Jersey, he had no idea how she got there. But Frank and his family were even more amazed when they discovered what she left behind. Watch as the Ieros take care of her eggs, watch the baby snapping turtles hatch and eventually release them back to the wild.

@Cmd Dowd A few years ago, on October 30, it started to snow. My dog was out in my yard barking like crazy. I went to look why, and he was barking at two Tiger Salamanders that were cuddled together. I live out in the country, far away from other people, in an arrid dry grassland area. There are no Tiger Salamanders around here normally. Yet here were two huddled together for dear life. They don't usually do that. I'm the kind of person who took them indoors, put them in a warm wet terrarium for the winter and took care of them until Spring. They would have died. I set them free in a pond 40 miles away from where I live. So....Why Me? Because there is a God. He sent them to me for safekeeping. Same with the turtle in the above video.

IKR I STARTED FANGIRLING SO MUCH

[@deborahklinkner1730]

I found a very small baby box turtle while mowing on my farm. Put it back at the edge of my woods. So awesome to watch nature in action

[@cierakitty]

I rescued 7 on a major hwy. Stopped with flashers on...got them, and someone else stopped and he helped. (box turtles) I took them all home, fed them night crawlers, fruit and greens, then took them to a place wayyyyyyy out by a slue bridge away from people and let them go. Plenty of water, grubs, bugs etc. One was really special, I could hold him and he would eat and always came to me when I sat down. Would have loved to have kept him, but somehow that did not seem right. Wherever you are Speedy, I hope you are doing well and enjoying life.

[@JenAngel21]

Good thing she managed to find the right yard to lay her eggs in! After those eggs got washed out in the rain they didn’t stand a chance without this family’s help. Kudos to them for helping these babies out ❤️

I reminds me of when a family of mockingbirds made their nest and had their hatchlings outside a window that my kids could look right into. It was a little miracle happening before their eyes. They're both in their 30s now but have never forgotten watching those parent birds feed their hungry babies. The kids in this video will forever remember the miracle of the mama turtle and her hatchlings. I believe, like my kids, they will always have a reverence and wonder for nature.
