Snapping Turtles (Chelydra serpentina) have recently been listed as a Species at Risk by the Government of Canada. While the turtles are protected federally, it is still legal to hunt them in Ontario. The Government of Ontario is proposing to allow the hunting of the turtles in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park.

"Feds protect snapping turtles; Ontario proposes increased turtle hunting in park." Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, 2 December 2008.
Also worth noting is that the fossils of an ancestral turtle have been discovered in China.
