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

Capone the alligator snapping turtle got the chance to dine on a particularly unique meal (for him!): a whole chicken! His animal care team gave him the experience of "stumbling" across a carcass to encourage those instinctive behaviors of tearing and chomping at his food. In addition to being stimulating for Capone mentally and physically, feeding him whole prey items gives him a range of nutrients and fiber naturally. | Brevard Zoo
