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

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

In this region, this seems to be primarily used with most efficiency as hatchlings and juveniles, as the adults become focused on a durophagous (eating hard stuff) diet of mollusks and turtles. It’s easy to see how this turtle can lay on a muddy bottom among logs and stumps, wig
