A massive snapping turtle nicknamed "Chonkosaurus" spotted by a Windy City resident sunbathing in the Chicago River is gaining internet popularity.
"Great to see this beast thriving here on what was once such a toxic river, but is slowly getting cleaned up & restored," Joey Santore, who shared video of Chonkosaurus on Twitter, wrote in the post. "Somebody planted a bunch of native plants up the river from here, too. I can only wonder this thing's been eating."
