These guys are one of the heaviest freshwater turtles in the world, with rugged shells and powerful beaks that make them standout from the crowd. Their eyes are tiny, and they have three distinct ridges on their shells that give them a dinosaur-like appearance. But don't be fooled, these slow walkers are exceptional swimmers in their watery homes.  \nSpeaking of their homes, Alligator Snapping Turtles love to hang out in freshwater habitats. They're mainly found in the southeastern United States, especially in river systems like the Missouri, the Arkansas, and the Mississippi. They rest comfortably in the deep water, only coming up for air every 40 to 50 minutes. At night, they love to wander around on land, exploring their surroundings.  \nExploring for these guys often means hunting for a yummy meal. Alligator Snapping Turtles are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and other animals. They love to snack on fish, frogs, snakes, worms, clams, and even other turtles. To catch their prey, they use a neat trick-their tongue looks like a wiggly worm that lures in unsuspecting fish!  \nWith such a cool hunting trick, it's no wonder these turtles are the kings of their underwater world. Their strong jaws and sharp beaks can be a great defense against predators, but they usually prefer to hide or swim away.
