As you can see this is the snapping turtle or the, Chelydra serpentina This snapping turtle is a baby you can tell because of its size, it is really small in comparison to an adult. I also observed that most to all adult snapping turtles are covered in algae and dirt while young ones look pristine. Its shell is very important and has rough bumps and ridges that protect it from other predators. These guys are dangerous and it would be best to stay away they can chomp right through fish, snakes, frogs and so many other things!
