Occurred on June 4, 2020 / Rhode Island, USA Info from Licensor: "Every year we get snapping turtles that come into the yard.
But this was the first time one was ever fully hidden and buried that we know of.
I was completely unaware that they did this.
It was a very hot day and I think it buried itself to cool off.
I was in the garden to weed that bed and could have lost a finger."
