Description

The Beast of ‘Busco, affectionately nicknamed Oscar, was an alleged giant alligator snapping turtle reported from Fulk Lake, near Churubusco, northern Indiana in the United States, during the late 1940s. The story briefly gained national attention as a result of the increasingly-dramatic attempts by the lake’s owner Gale Harris, and other locals, to capture the animal. Another giant turtle was reported from the state in 1950.
