Snapping turtles are classified into two groups: the common snapping turtle and the alligator snapping turtle. These two turtle groups are often confused with one another since they can look kind of similar, but alligator snapping turtles are typically much larger and more menacing looking! Snapping turtles are found throughout North and South America and they are some of the largest freshwater turtles in the world! These turtles are most aquatic, not really leaving the water to bask the way other pond turtles do. They have a powerful bite and the largest members of the group can even eat small alligators!
