'It's almost like losing a piece of myself, to be honest with you,' the turtle's owner told a local media outlet.
A massive alligator snapping turtle somehow vanished from his owner’s car while the duo was traveling along an interstate in Durham, North Carolina. Dan Hemby told WTVD in North Carolina that he last saw his turtle named "Thanos" in the vehicle as both were heading from Jacksonville, North Carolina, to a Reptile Expo in Durham.Thanos is a 38-inch, century-old bright yellow turtle weighing between 140-180 pounds.
The man told WTVD that he noticed the straps in the car were popped open and moved to the side, explaining Thanos may have been taken at a rest stop, where he last checked on him. The owner also checked for blood marks on the highway but didn’t see any. Hemby also speculated that if Thanos fell and suffered any scrapes, the animal could survive if he landed on the front side of his body.
