​This prehistoric-looking creature is a Suwannee alligator snapping turtle @floridawildlifecare. Named for alligators because of their ridged shells, the fearsome species uniquely-adapted hunter with powerful jaws and quick bite, much like its namesake. Found throughout the southeastern US, these turtles hunt by lying motionless at the bottom of muddy rivers, lakes, and canals. The tip of their tongue has a red worm-like appendage that acts as bait to attract prey - once the prey gets close enough, their jaws snap shut, securing their catch. The shell of this species is often covered in algae, making it difficult to tell the difference between the turtle and a rock underwater. Should you encounter an alligator snapping turtle in the wild, remember to give it plenty of space - while not aggressive towards humans, this species is well-equipped to protect itself if it feels threatened. #snappingturtle #bigmouth #bait #hunter #PhotoArk #savetogether
