When I was a kid at summer camp I saw a dead snapping turtle that was

Sure, sea turtles get a little bigger, but a 4' snapping turtle would
be a dangerous beast... probably could drag away livestock!
Considering that they can be aggressive (at least, the ones we have
down here are, but hopefully they don't get that big) they could
bemore dangerous than alligators...
