Are you an animal lover like me? Do you cringe at the sight of road kill every time you pass it on the highway? Then you have most likely tried what I have to save those crazy critters!

Not only can helping a turtle cross the road take a lot longer, it could be more dangerous. For starters, turtles bite... and worst of all, they pee when frightened.

So, how do you help the turtle cross the road? Get behind that silly turtle and the rest is really quite simple... you clap! Clapping behind that huge snapping turtle really gets them moving faster than the stories say. I actually got a turtle to hop a curb one time. So clap it up, because there is a turtle out there that needs you... and remember clapping helps keep the turtle safe and you safe. Now, you can get back in your car and continue with that road trip knowing you made a difference in a turtle's life!

Well done outdoors-person! :) I hope this helped!
