It had more of a flat nose, not the beak I usually associate with snappers.
Had the attitude though. Should have taken a photo, but the turtle is now

> Snapping turtles are best approached with a hatchet aimed at the neck.
Or with a stick, nothing like showing some kid how the cute little
turtle can snap a piece of dowell in two.
