It's killed moorhens, ducks and fish. Now this mystery 'dinosaur of the deep' that has been terrorising wildlife in a Kent village has been found and caught.
For the last two years, staff at Strode Park, a charity for people with disabilities at Herne, near Herne Bay, were baffled by the deaths of animals in their pond.
But after draining the pond they have discovered the culprit - a two-stone snapping turtle powerful enough to bite off a finger!
Maintenance worker Rikki Carter said: "It was a beast, a dinosaur. We called it Jaws at first. But we changed that to Snappy!"
