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

The snapping turtle, a master of ambush, uses a unique fishing technique to catch its prey! With remarkable patience, it lies still at the bottom of the water, its body blending into the surroundings. The turtle’s tongue, equipped with a worm-like appendage, extends out like a clever lure. This fleshy, worm-like extension mimics the movement of prey, enticing curious fish to swim closer. As the fish approach, drawn in by the tempting “bait,” the snapping turtle springs into action, snapping its

Here is the highly requested slow-mo version of the snapping turtle incident. Doesn’t get much closer than that! 😳 The “bite speed” of a common snapping turtle, referring to how quickly it can strike, is estimated to be up to 174 miles per hour (280 kilometers per hour). This includes the lunging and jaw snapping action, which occurs in a remarkably short time of 4-8 milliseconds!! Even if you think you have fast relaxes, you will not be faster than a striking snapping turtle. I like to conside

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

Detailed Explanation on Instagram: "A snapping turtle’s tongue is uniquely adapted for luring prey, especially in the alligator snapping turtle, whose tongue has a small, worm-like appendage called a lingual lure. When the turtle lies motionless on the river or lake bottom with its mouth wide open, it slowly wiggles this pink, fleshy lure so that it looks like a live worm drifting in the water. Fish, drawn in by what appears to be an easy meal, swim directly into the turtle’s open mouth. The mom
