Information about the Alligator Snapping
Turtle:
The Alligator Snapping Turtle is one of the largest freshwater
turtles on earth and the largest in North America. It can
be found in the Mississippi River and it's tributaries.
They can be found in murky, backwater swamps and slow moving
waters. Inside the turtle's mouth is has a built-in lure,
which is a fleshy appendage it dangles while it sits motionless
to attract fish. When a fish comes close enough it snaps
its mouth shut with tremendous speed and force. Because
of this formidable mouth which has been known to break fingers
and cause other injuries they should be handled with extreme
care or avoided all together if possible.
