Snapping Turtle

ESPECULADO

Chelydra serpentina

A prehistoric-looking freshwater turtle with a bite force sufficient to amputate fingers.

The Common Snapping Turtle is one of Leonida's most dangerous freshwater animals, despite weighing only 35 pounds. Their bite force, lightning-fast neck strike, and foul disposition make them a hazard for anyone wading in the state's ponds and slow-moving rivers.
