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

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

Ancient alligator snapping turtle at reptile zoo

Spend enough time at the Zoo and you just might spot animals you’ve never seen before! Like Bowser, the 29-year-old alligator snapping turtle, who shares a space with Dan the alligator down in Texas Wild!. Bowser often sleeps tucked up under the cave in his habitat, almost completely out of sight. He will speed his way out of his hiding place when it’s time to eat; his typical diet consists of rats and rainbow trout. There’s a lot to see below the surface! 😉 | Fort Worth Zoo

There’s nothing better than meandering through a reptile house and taking in the view of delightful turtle faces. Our trip to the AZA 2023 Annual Conference in Columbus, OH ended with an amazing visit to the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. Attendees, including Turtle Survival Alliance staff members, were able to tour behind the scenes and peruse the turtles and tortoises in Columbus Zoo’s care. We loved seeing the Alligator Snapping Turtles, Radiated Tortoises, Eastern Box Turtles, and we even caught a
