This image shows the bottom and carapace and plastron of an Alligator Snapping Turtle.
If you see one, watch out. It will bite you if it gets disturbed. You do not want to deal with an Alligator Snapping Turtle bite!
All snapping turtles have long tails as you can see in the picture above.
Did you know that this turtle lures their pray with their tongue?
They stick their tongue in the water and it bobs like a worm. This attracts prey. Then, CHOMP nom nom nom, the prey is gone. :)
