A recent Facebook post claiming the presence of a man-eating snapping turtle in Monroe Lake has been debunked by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The false post, which garnered over 16,000 shares, falsely alleged that a man had died from a snapping turtle attack. The Indiana DNR assures the public that there is no cause for concern regarding a giant man-eating snapping turtle in Monroe Lake. The department encourages residents to directly reach out for accurate information regarding Indiana’s fish and wildlife. Furthermore, the DNR confirms that there have been no instances of releasing rattlesnakes from helicopters, addressing another unfounded rumor.
