Scientific name: Macrochelys Temminckii
The Alligator Snapping Turtle is found in the waters of the
southeastern United States. They are one of the largest freshwater turtles when
fully grown and because of their size do not make good pets. They are nicknamed
the ‘dinosaur of the turtle world’ because of their appearance.
This was an Alligator Snapping Turtle that was at the
Tulelake/Butte Valley Fair in Tulelake, California that Brad’s World of
Reptiles had on display to teach people about these animals. Their Facebook
