Alligator Snapping Turtles are naturally lazy! They have a pink extension on their tongue that acts as a fishing lure. This way, they can remain completely still and have their fish dinner come right to their mouth. We encourage some exercise with our female turtle and Louise was eager to swim over to retrieve a tasty fish this morning. #WorldTurtleDay | ZooAmerica

Meet the Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii), the largest freshwater turtle in North America and one of the most powerful ambush predators hiding beneath river surfaces. With a massive head, spiked shell, and crushing jaws, this turtle relies on patience rather than speed. It sits motionless on river bottoms with its mouth wide open, using a worm-like appendage on its tongue to lure curious fish directly into its jaws. That bite is no joke.

Check it out! In the past, we've talked about how in the wild, alligator snapping turtles will sit perfectly still and wiggle their tongue like a worm to lure unsuspecting 🐟. Recently, Tropical Discovery keepers captured Billy Hoyle in action—wiggling his tongue to try and snack on his neighbors. Clearly, Billy has not received the memo on fish being friends, not food. | Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance

Have you ever wondered how snapping turtles mate? We got you. As waters begin to warm, so do the hearts of snapping turtles. Mating can occur during spring through fall - eggs are usually laid in summer. The female snapper can store the male's sperm for several seasons, using it when necessary to fertilize her eggs. These gnarly scavengers are a vital part of healthy wetlands and aquatic habitats, and they aren’t shy about sharing their business. Video: Erin Huggins/USFWS Video description: A ma

America’s most enigmatic angler. Alligator snapping turtles are equipped with a worm-like attachment on their tongue area, known as a “lingual lure”. They use this to lure in small fish, crayfish, and other aquatic prey. In this region, this seems to be primarily used with most efficiency as hatchlings and juveniles, as the adults become focused on a durophagous (eating hard stuff) diet of mollusks and turtles. It’s easy to see how this turtle can lay on a muddy bottom among logs and stumps, wig
