Animal adaptations are amazing! Alligator snapping turtles have a lure on their tongue! This special adaptation means that these turtles don't have to move and can remain sedentary luring their prey to them. You can see our youngest snapping turtles in the Children's Zoo presented by Primrose Schools! Do you see the lure? 📷: Caretaker Kayla | Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden

An 85lb male Alligator Snapping Turtle from north Ga, navigating the small stream he calls home. It seems in these smaller systems the turtles navigate fairly long distances up and downstream in search of food, mates, and deeper pools in the hotter months, as well as moving into Tupelo gum floodplain swamps when water rises. Masters of adaptation. #alligatorsnappingturtle #macrochelys #turtles | Greg’s Turtle Haven
