The alligator snapping turtle is listed as threatened in the US, and is completely gone from some states

If you get a chance to stop by Bass Pro Shop in Denham Springs there's a 197lb Snapping Turtle in the tank there. It's the biggest I've ever seen. The sign reads it was 136 when captured 10 years ago. She must be eating well in captivity
I’ve seen it a few times and enjoy stopping there when we’re in the area for that reason alone. Back when I learned about Denham flooding, one of my first thoughts was,”I hope that turtle made out okay.”

Yeah, well it’s a turtle. I’m pretty sure it could survive a flooded building.

That’s actually my cousins truck. And the turtle is living a comfortable life in a giant homemade pond in my back yard. With a smaller female that had 2 clutches of babies that I released in the Westwego canal in Bayou Segnette

Friend caught this one in Lake Bistineau. He told me it was released unharmed.

Damn, that's a big turtle. I'd surely release one that big if I caught it.
