Cool Fact: The alligator snapping turtle is the largest freshwater turtle in North America. It can weigh over 200 lbs. And has a unique way of getting its meal. Spending much of its time at the bottom of rivers and lakes, it stays motionless with its mouth open, using a worm-like tongue to attract prey.
