'Chonkosaurus': The Viral Giant Snapping Turtle of Chicago River

A 60lb giant snapping turtle, dubbed 'Chonkosaurus', was spotted basking on rusting chains in the middle of the Chicago River by kayaker Joey Santore. The female turtle is believed to be 40 to 50 years old and was recently emerged from hibernation. Wildlife biologist Chris Anchor warned that turtles of its size can consume anything they can get their mouth around and people shouldn't disturb them if encountered. The video has amassed more than half a million views on Twitter.
