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

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

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

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
