Alligator snapping turtles get their name from their powerful jaws and the ridges of their shells that resemble alligator skin. Medusa, our resident alligator snapping turtle, enjoys spending most of her time in the water, buried in the mud. She can hold her breath up to three hours which is why you may not see her during your visit! | Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park

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 | Facebook
