napping turtles, belonging primarily to two species-the Common
Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) and the Alligator Snapping
Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii)-are among the most iconic
freshwater turtles in North America. Their lineage dates back over 90
million years, making them living relics of prehistory. These reptiles have
survived dramatic environmental changes, ice ages, and shifting ecosystems,
which is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
