Western way adventure!

*'''Completed by:''' Fionn Delahunty & Cecile Collot
*'''Length:''' 55ish Km
*'''Days:''' 3
*Prefect for a weekend adventure away from university. Leave Galway Friday night, and you should be back Sunday evening.

'''Overview'''

The western way is a Irish national trail leading all around Ireland. It's divided into section, one of these sections is from Oughterard to Leenaun. It's marked with black signs with little yellow people on them. The official route can be found [http://www.irishtrails.ie/trail/western-way--gal-/37/ here]. Myself and Cecile have completed a modified version of the route which I have done twice. Personally I think it's a nicer version, since you have less road walking then the official one.

We did it in three days, but realistically I've heard of people completing it in one long day. If the weather is nice, you won't find a better way to experience Connemara.

'''Route'''

*1. Start by hitching hiking, or getting the bus to Maam Cross. It's pretty easy to hitch a lift out here, or else you can get the citylink bus directly out.
*2. Once there, start walking along the R336 towards keane pub. About 3 or 4 km down the road, you'll see a large path off to your right hand side. It's not marked as the western way, but it's a large gate. The only one of it's kind on the right hand side of the road.
*3.Open and gate and start walking east along this path, you'll cross a river on a metal bridge and end up walking along a wooden path in a forest. This Forest will give way to a field, keep walking east until you hit the corrib lake.
*4 If you want, here is a good place to camp for the first night since you have access to cleanish drinking water.
*5. Once you start walking again, your going to head north and follow the lake keeping it to your right. The terrain your on now will be a little harder to walk on, and could get a bit wet under foot.
*6.You'll walk past a old house! TIme for a quick adventure!
*7.If you keep following the lake, you'll hit a fence and you should be able to see a house at this point. Between you and the house there should be road, try and find this and follow that road away from the house!
*8.Once you get to the end of that road, you'll be back on the R336, turn right and follow it down for another 2 or so K. Take the last turn left on that road before you hit the bridge.
*9. You could cross the road for a sneeky pint if you wanted or a shop to get more food
*10. Follow the road I talked about a minute ago. It should swing left after about 3 and start going uphill. Keep following it until you reach a gate in front of you. Open this gate and start climbing the mountain!
*11. At this point you'll be passing over Maaean holy well. Stick to the path and you should be fine! You'll pass a little church to your right at some point before heading down.
*12. If you wanted, you could turn right at the church and complete the rest of the walk by walking over the south Maamturks. However, this would be a good deal harder and you'd want to be pretty experienced to do it
*13 Once you finish the Maaean path, you'll hit a old country road. Turn right and follow that road pass a few houses for about 5k
*14 A one point the road will swing to the left, but they'll be a path going straight on. Follow this path and you should cross a bridge in a few hundred meters
*15 Keep walking on this path until you come across a fence, at this point you should have a river and it's a good place to camp for night two.
*16. Your next section is following that path until you hit a forest, here take a right turn and follow the sign for the western way
*17. Keep following this path, you past a nice river and pool for a swim if you like!
*18. This path will come out on a main road, turn left and take the first? turn right to follow a track. This track should be marked by the black signs with yellow people, and you should be able to follow it for about 8k right back to Leenaun.
*19 In Leeanun you should a few small shops and a pub. From here you should be able to hitch hike back to Galway, It might take two or three lifts however!

'''Map'''
Here's a rough google map of our route [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qsgLYe_I4mbTUAs_SK2GjiTJxRs&usp=sharing Click Here]. For the actually route you'll need Ordnance Survey maps 38 +37

'''Gear'''
*Hiking gear
*Food for x days
*Water
*Tent, sleeping bags, ground mat etc

'''Note:''' On some warm sunny days in 2019, a group of us tried to walk the Western Way as it's marked on the map, beginning at Oughterard. We wore boots, but this was a mistake as it turns out the trail is mostly roads and similarly hard surfaces. Our feet were in agony. Some gave up after the first day, at Maam. Some gave up after the second day, at Leenane. The last two of us, despite our incredible stubbornness, decided to give up after the third day, but we were in the middle of nowhere, so we had to walk another day of torture to get to Westport where we could get a bus. We had blisters the size of extra toes. About 95km covered in total. Please make no attempt to repeat this. -Liam

LiamLang: /* The 2017-2018 Committee */

== The 2017-2018 Committee ==
'''Ciara McEllistrim'''
''Position: Captain''.
Ciara, better known as Captain Kerrygold, has been a climber since 2015, and a hiker since not long after. While her pace is very slow, other hikers have realised she is useful to bring along, since her hair emits over 700 lumens of light, making her better than almost all headtorches. Having become bored wrestling with pebbles, she has taken to wrestling with the steering wheel of her car. Undecided as to whether she would rather drive like a granny or a fighter pilot, she combines the two styles, flying around corners at high speed.
Safety first:
Do not feed after midnight
Do not offer to sell her a duck
Do not attempt to play poker with her
Do not leave alone in a room with Pierce Hosey, as they will both be confused and believe they are looking in a mirror

'''Marc Higgins'''
''Position Treasurer''.
Aka. Big Mac is currently working on ways to improve the well know big mac. Through his PhD in beef he has had promising results with adding a third level to infamous Big Mac. There was high hope for him as a graduate of Mcdonald's IT when he discovered a 5th way of shaping their chicken nuggets. All this study and research has taken it toll on Marc causing him to become fatigued in scotland due to small quantities of snow. He was able to recover quickly thanks to the support of his loving future wife, a red mazda CX 5.

'''Emmet McCourt'''
''Position Hiking Vice Captain''.
AKA Anything beginning with E, He is a true and true hiker who has recently started climbing. Has an extremely sexy accent that seems to only attract Kevin. He has fantastic stories of all the people he has met in the hostels in the past and the craic they had all night.

'''Colin Delahunt'''
''Position Climbing Vice Captain''.
Aka The Human Mop. He thinks long unkept hair and longboarding makes him look cool. His favorite pastime is to ask david to get thing from the top or bottom shelf when he is wearing his uniform. Still trying to figure out what people older than him do for fun

'''Ellen King'''
''Position Public relations officer''.
Aka D4, loves to ride horses. They seem to get more action than so other people in her life. Will sleep through anything but Darude Sandstorm which will wake her from even the most whisky induced comas. Has a tendency to damage items in the houses she rents, mainly breaking the legs off tables and not even in the mountaineering way. Warning do not highfive while drunk, will aim for face.

'''Gerard Mangan'''
''Position Equipment Officer''.
Aka Gerry Adams/Quartermaster(Q), has an odd love of gear, He just can't get enough of those big bros. In a recent survey it has come to light that he “gets enough”. His pastimes include moon game and cleaning his gear by use of his tongue.

'''Cormac Horan'''
''Position Hiking Training safety officer''.
Aka, Cory. Joined club 2016 'till present. He participated.

'''Ben Nolan'''
''Position Climbing Training Safety Officer''.
Aka Jon Snow. He gets his alias, not from the sight resemblance of jon snow but because he knows nothing. As a newish member, he has embodied the true meaning of the club: Get some americans, fool around with them for a semester, never see them again and wait for the next batch to come in. This is why he spends hours curling his hair into the perfect bob every morning.

'''Cathal Breathnach'''
''Position Adviser''.
Cathal Breathnach Aka Charlie is an old young member of NUIG MC. He has a strange habit of getting into incidents with reindeer. The last one left him with a broken arm. He is the lead singer of the boy band called Rover Bandits. There was some tension in the band when one member fired a projectile at him in the Róisin. May have a rivalry with Tommy.

'''Orla Mulligan'''
''Position Ordinary Committee Member''.
She is a loveable creature who like to dress up as Bambi or something like that. (No one could tell what she was and were too polite to say it. May have been a cat or a deer, who knows) Loves going for ski holidays but for the life of her can't remember the night. Rumor has it there is a terminator picture of her floating around the internet.

'''Thomas Dunford'''
''Position Ordinary Committee Member''.
Aka Huggy Bear Is currently in a band called the Cider Wasps. He was allowed to join back in 2013 as a participating member, after the other members felt sorry for him. He regularly show up to gigs with them where he receives an unplugged mic. One of his favourite pastimes is telling people he in a band within the first 5 mins of meeting him. He has recently became friends with Colin where they spend long hours measuring the length of their mop top to see who’s is longer. While Colin is winning Tommy claims volume is what really matters.

'''David Langley'''
''Position Registrar''.
Aka Treebeard, is a little bit whipped by his entire house. He cooks, cleans and wears a sexy french maids outfit when at their house. Has a strange obsession with trees. Not really sure what to make of it...

'''Pierce Hosey'''
''Position: Secretary''.
Took the secretary position as he heard it was important, upon finding out what the word secretary means he stepped aside as he cannot read or write.

== James Mulhall ==
Aka The Traitor was a promising young first-year student who was studying general science. There was high hope for James to take a senior position on the committee in 2016-17. Unfortunately, a terrible accident occurred and James heard about UCD. Driven mad with the poor living conditions of Corrib village, James soon turned to the Darkside. He is now UCD puppet with a mission of causing as much mayhem as possible for NUIG MC. His most recent attempt to sabotage was the 2016 first semester trip to Kerry, which failed miserably as the craic was still had, but be weary this is the first of many attempts to come so please keep an eye out for this suspicious individual.

== Liam Lang ==
Aka Lila is the 2016/17 Hiking vice Captain. This is quite an extraordinary achievement for Liam, who once got lost walking to Tesco. He is currently studying Engineering with the dream of becoming a head civil engineer on Trump's great wall. Often times this strange individual can be found steaming some sort of semi-edible food while continually repeating the phrase "It's fine". He has high hopes for the club in the future and dreams of turning it into the form filling club (FFC for short). It is actually a lie that Liam was born with his beard. There is photographic proof of this, although it is rarely seen.

== Damien Egan ==
Aka Damo/Shnake is currently studying Engineering with Liam. It's been rumored that this is how Damo got such an important role on the committee when he is clearly more interested in table tennis. There is an unusual correlation between his attempts of climbing at the kingfisher and the number of injuries at the wall. The most popular theory for this is being from Athlone he has an irresistible impulse to cause damage. If you see this person DO NOT FEED. He may become violent with you in order to get access to the rest of your food. Spray with cold water to deter .

== Hannah Jansen ==
Aka The juggler is possibly the exact opposite of Lila. Lila has no the idea of where he's going, Hannah, on the other hand, has no idea where she from. This is due to the PTSD she is suffering from her days as an elite Swedish commando. She was conscripted into the army for 2-4 years. No one is quite how many but all we know is its multiple. She recently turned 21 and instead of cash as a present she asks everyone attending to give IKEA vouchers. Also, likes horses.

== Francesca Rocca McAllister ==
Aka Tinderella is a bubbly, loving person until she plays spoons. Upon entering a game of spoons, she will viciously attack her opponent until the match end, returning to here natural docile state (swiping on tinder). Usually only seen hiking but has recently started to attend climbing to much confusion of the regular members. Fran has a long lost brother Fernando who is quite evil with a thick moustache, do not approach if seen.

==Ruairi O'Hogartaigh (RORO)==
[[http://nuigmc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ruair%C3%AD]]
Aka Veggie Monster. Ruairi has kept the fact he is a veggie monster a closely guarded secret. Never getting tired, never getting cold(often seen in shorts), not eating anything from an animal and shedding their skin at a full moon are some traits of a Veggie monster. Never seen on hikes as he is always 2 Kilometers ahead of the group with his superior Veggie monster speed. It is rumored that he has a lair somewhere in the Connemara Mountain range. Their main food source is Bananas and Oreos, peanut butter and bananas, rice and bananas and their most favorite is bananas and banana bread. Beware of Phillipe! Also is a VEGAN, he asked us to let ye know

http://imgur.com/Xbo9W0T.png

''Ruairi can often be seen cycling, or walking very fast''

==Daddio==
Aka Padhraic Mac Maghnuis is possibly the best climber in NUIG. When asked about when he gets his talent from he responds "I owe my shit looks, oversized ego and amazing climbing skill to the ropes and harness I found in my parent's room when I was younger". He was born with the name Padhraic Mac Maghnuis but changed it in 2016 to Daddio to fit into his role as the clubs daddy. Favorite game is spoons, loves a bit of man on man.

== Pierce Hosey==
Aka Posies is a climber and reputed ginger.
Often seen trying to attract girls by talking about 'cracks' and 'nuts', he has been known to have to turn back from attempting to hike up hills as small as 20m.
Some say that he is simply terrified of solid ground.
A simple man from Carlow, Pierce has not yet been introduced to concepts such as electricity or fire, and as such should be treated with caution.

The lead drummer in Rover Bandits.

'''Fionn Delahunty'''
Aka Fino is the Designated driver/Lead Guitarists of the Rover Bandits. Fionn uses to be a very reckless and had not a care in the world, was until he ran into the land shark. Since then he has become a much more serious character in the club and has started the land shark survivors group.

Aka Spider thing is a strange creature who dwells at the club.

''Here are a few club favourite recipes, please add your own''

== Pizza in a pan ==

An ideal dish for when everyone assumed the hostel will have an oven, but it doesn't. Actually surprisingly tasty.

'''Ingredients'''

1 Frozen pizza, ideally completely thawed due to a barely-working excuse for a fridge

''' Cooking instructions '''

http://imgur.com/BAfrZdU.jpg

== Slow cookers ==

Slow cookers are a great way to leave your food cooking while you're out hiking/climbing for the day. Ideally bring as many as possible to help ensure that the minimum of 10 slow cookers per club trip is met (this is enforced by Mountaineering Ireland). They have the added advantage of letting you know what your food would taste like overcooked, when you inevitably arrive back much later than you had planned. Leave it cooking in your room to add a pleasant smell and a thrilling risk of fire.

We suggest to serve this dish with a vintage banana juice.

== James Mulhall ==
Aka The Traitor was a promising young first-year student who was studying general science. There was high hope for James to take a senior position on the committee in 2016-17. Unfortunately, a terrible accident occurred and James heard about UCD. Driven mad with the poor living conditions of Corrib village, James soon turned to the Darkside. He is now UCD puppet with a mission of causing as much mayhem as possible for NUIG MC. His most recent attempt to sabotage the 2016 first semester trip to Kerry, fail miserable as the craic was still had but be weary, this is the first of many attempts to come so please keep an eye out for this suspicious individual.

== Liam Lang ==
Aka Lila is the 2016/17 Hiking vice Captain. This is quite an extraordinary achievement for Liam, who once got lost walking to Tesco. He is currently studying Engineering with the dream of becoming a head civil engineer on Trump's great wall. Often times this strange individual can be found steaming some sort of semi-edible food while continually repeating the phrase "It's fine". He has high hopes for the club in the future and dreams of turning it into the form filling club (FFC for short). It is actually a lie that Liam was born with his beard. There is photographic proof of this, although it is rarely seen.

== Damien Egan ==
Aka Damo is currently studying Engineering with Liam. It's been rumored that this is how Damo got such an important role on the committee when he is clearly more interested in table tennis. There is an unusual correlation between his attempts of climbing at the kingfisher and the number of injuries at the wall. The most popular theory for this is being from Athlone he has an irresistible impulse to cause damage. If you see this person DO NOT FEED. He may become violent with you in order to get access to the rest of your food. Spray with cold water to deter .

== Ciara Mc Ellistrim ==
Aka Kerrygold is a born and breed Kerry person with the driving skills of a tortoise. She is easily visible at great distances, which makes here a great point of reference on hikes and an even better PRO. Her natural habitat is the climbing wall where she regularly attempts to do mundane things such as pull-ups, planks, and bouldering. Daddio (Aka Padhraic Mac Maghnuis) can often be seen showing beginners Ciara footwork as an example of what not to do. She's easy to make friends with, all you have to do is ask her would she like to play poker with you.

== Hannah Jansen ==
Aka The juggler is possibly the exact opposite of Lila. Lila has no the idea of where he's going, Hannah, on the other hand, has no idea where she from. This is due to the PTSD she is suffering from her days as an elite Swedish commando. She was conscripted into the army for 2-4 years. No one is quite how many but all we know is its multiple. She recently turned 21 and instead of cash as a present she asks everyone attending to give IKEA vouchers. Also, likes horses.

== Francesca Rocca McAllister ==
Aka Tinderella is a bubble loving person until she plays spoons. Upon entering a game of spoons, she will viciously attack her opponent until the match end, returning to here natural docile state (swiping on tinder). Usually only seen hiking but has recently started to attend climbing too much confusion of the regular members. Fran has a long lost brother Fernando how is quite evil, do not approach if seen.

==Ruairi O'Hogartaigh (RORO)==
[[http://nuigmc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ruair%C3%AD]]
Aka Veggie Monster. Ruairi has kept the fact he is a veggie monster a closely guarded secret. Never getting tired,never getting cold(often seen in shorts), not eating anything from an animal and shedding their skin at a full moon are some traits of a Veggie monster. Never seen on hikes as he is always 2 Kilometers ahead of the group with his superior Veggie monster speed. It is rumored that he has a lair somewhere in the Connerna Mountain range. Their main food source is Bananas and Oreos, peanut butter and bananas, rice and bananas and their most favorite is bananas and banana bread. Beware of Phillipe! Also is a VEGAN, he asked us to let ye know

==Daddio==
Aka Padhraic Mac Maghnuis is possibly the best climber in NUIG. When asked about when he gets his talent from he responds "I owe my shit looks, oversized ego and amazing climbing skill to the ropes and harness I found in my parent's room when I was younger". He was born with the name Padhraic Mac Maghnuis but changed it in 2016 to Daddio to fit into his role as the clubs daddy. Favorite game is spoons, loves a bit of man on man.

== Pierce Hosey==
Aka Posies, is a climber and reputed ginger.
Often seen trying to attract girls by talking about 'cracks' and 'nuts', he has been known to have to turn back from attempting to hike up hills as small as 20m.
Some say that he is simply terrified of solid ground.
A simple man from Carlow, Pierce has not yet been introduced to concepts such as electricity or fire, and as such should be treated with caution.

'''James O’Connell'''
Aka Jiggles is the first Kerry man ever to go aboard. Due to the lack of traveling that Kerry people do, James immune system is very vulnerable. This causes him to regularly get food poisoning when in a foreign county. As with all male Kerry people they reproduce through their toes, which explains his weird obsession with feet. Lead drummer in Rover Bandits.

'''Fionn Delahunty'''
Aka Fino is the Designate driver/Lead Guitarists of the Rover Bandits. Fionn use to be a very reckless and had not a care in the world, was until he ran into the land shark. Since then he has become a much more serious character in the club and has started the land shark survivors group.

Connemara snapping turtle

2016-11-05T19:00:12Z

LiamLang: Created page with "https://i.imgur.com/sSzFwf5.png The '''Connemara snapping turtle''' (''Chelydra serpentina occidentalis'') is a large freshwater [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/turtle turtle] of..."

https://i.imgur.com/sSzFwf5.png

The '''Connemara snapping turtle''' (''Chelydra serpentina occidentalis'') is a large freshwater [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/turtle turtle] of the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/family_(biology) family] [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelydridae Chelydridae]. Its natural range is within [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Connemara Connemara] and [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Country Joyce Country], in the west of the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland Republic of Ireland]. A close relative of the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/common_snapping_turtle common snapping turtle], found in North America, it is the only species of snapping turtle to inhabit Western Europe.

The Connemara snapping turtle, similar to its North American counterpart, is noted for its combative disposition when out of the water with its powerful beak-like jaws, and highly mobile head and neck (hence the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/species specific] name ''serpentina'', meaning "[https://wikipedia.org/wiki/snake snake]-like"). In water, they are likely to hide in sediment, awaiting the disturbance of the surface by passing animals which they predate. They have been known to attack animals as large as [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/red_deer red deer].

Connemara snapping turtles have a life-history strategy characterized by high and variable mortality of embryos and hatchlings, delayed sexual maturity, extended adult longevity, and [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/semelparity_and_iteroparity iteroparity] (repeated reproductive events) with low reproductive success per reproductive event. Connemara snapping turtle mature later (at 16-22 years) and at a significantly larger size than their American progenitors, ''C. serpentina''. Lifespan in the wild is unknown, but is expected to be similar to that of ''C. serpentina'', up to 100 years (based on long-term mark-recapture data Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada).

==Anatomy and morphology==
''C. S. occidentalis'' has a rugged, muscular build with ridged carapaces (particularly in mature males). The [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/carapace carapace] (upper shell) length in adulthood may be nearly 80cm, though 40-60cm, is more common. ''C. S. occidentalis'' usually weighs 24-41kg. Males are larger than females, with almost all animals weighing in excess of 31kg being male and quite old, as the species continues to grow throughout life. Any specimen above the aforementioned weights are exceptional, but the heaviest wild specimen caught reportedly weighed 67kg.

==Ecology and life history==

Common habitats are shallow [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/pond ponds] or [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/streams streams]. Some may inhabit [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/brackish_water brackish] environments, such as [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/estuary estuaries]. Connemara snapping turtles sometimes bask - though rarely observed - by floating on the surface with only their carapaces exposed, though they also readily bask on grass in early spring. In shallow waters, they may lie beneath a muddy bottom with only their heads exposed, stretching their long necks to the surface for an occasional breath (their nostrils are positioned on the very tip of the snout, effectively functioning as snorkels). Snapping turtles [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/omnivore consume both plant and animal matter], and are important aquatic scavengers, but they are also active hunters that prey on anything they can swallow, including many [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/invertebrate invertebrates], [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/fish fish], [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/frog frogs], unwary [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/bird birds], and [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/mammal mammals]. Connemara snapping turtles have been a menace to [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/sheep_farming sheep farming] in their range, as they occasionally attack and badly injure sheep, despite being unable to consume them.

Connemara snapping turtles have few predators when older, but eggs are subject to significant predation by [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/crow crows] and [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/fox foxes]. As hatchlings and juveniles, foxes will continue to attack them. Other natural predators which have reportedly preyed on adults include [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/red_deer red deer].

These turtles travel extensively over land to reach new [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/habitat habitats] or to lay [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_(biology) eggs]. Pollution, [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/habitat_destruction habitat destruction], food scarcity, overcrowding, and other factors drive snappers to move; it is quite common to find them traveling far from the nearest water source. This species mates from April through November, with their peak laying season in June and July. The female can hold [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/spermatozoa sperm] for several seasons, using it as necessary. Females travel over land to find sandy soil in which to lay their eggs, often some distance from the water. After digging a hole, the female typically deposits 25 to 80 eggs each year, guiding them into the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/nest nest] with her hind feet and covering them with sand for incubation and protection. Incubation time is temperature-dependent, ranging from 9 to 18 weeks. Hatchlings overwinter in the nest. The Connemara snapping turtle is remarkably cold-tolerant.

== Behavior ==
In their environment, they are typically at the top of their food chain, causing them to feel less fear. When they encounter a species unfamiliar to them such as humans, they usually react aggressively, ramming the feet or locking their jaws onto the ankle of a person they come into contact with, sometimes causing [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/bone_fractures bone fractures]. They are particularly attracted to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiking hillwalkers], perhaps due to the bright-coloured clothing they typically wear. This behaviour, however, is not displayed by the young, who will usually slip quietly away from any disturbance or may seek shelter under mud or grass nearby. Snapping turtles are believed to have evolved the ability to snap because, unlike other turtles, they are too large to hide in their shells when confronted; snapping is their defense mechanism.

== Captivity ==
The Connemara snapping turtle is unsuitable to keep domestically, and indeed is categorized as an illegal [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/exotic_pet exotic pet] in the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland Republic of Ireland]. Veterinary care is best left to a reptile specialist.

Connemara snapping turtles were formerly kept in captivity in [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_zoo Dublin zoo], however they were removed in 2008 due to an incident resulting in the death of several [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/penguin penguins], and the loss of a zookeeper's foot. There is an absence of concern for the conservation of their species as they are relatively abundant in [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Connemara_National_Park Connemara National Park].

It is a common misconception that snapping turtles may be safely picked up by the tail with no harm to the animal; in fact, this has a high chance of injuring the turtle, especially the tail itself and the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/vertebra vertebral column]. Lifting the turtle with the hands is difficult and dangerous. Snappers can stretch their necks back across their own carapace and to their hind feet on either side to bite. When they feel stressed, they release a musky odor from behind their legs.
