Conservationists are mourning the loss of one of Ontario's oldest snapping turtles, whose remains were recently found in what they say was an unexpected location.
The group Turtle Guardians says the turtle named Grace, estimated to be about 125 years old, had been missing for more than a year from its usual habitat in the area surrounding Haliburton, Ont.
The group says that was unusual because Grace would have had to travel more than 15 kilometres to get there. Turtle Guardians say Grace was the oldest female snapping turtle on record in the Ontario highlands, and was known for having just one eye and a distinctive upper shell. The conservationists don't believe that a predator killed Grace because all parts of her were found at the same location.
