Have you ever wondered how snapping turtles mate? We got you. As waters begin to warm, so do the hearts of snapping turtles. Mating can occur during spring through fall - eggs are usually laid in summer. The female snapper can store the male's sperm for several seasons, using it when necessary to fertilize her eggs. These gnarly scavengers are a vital part of healthy wetlands and aquatic habitats, and they aren’t shy about sharing their business. Video: Erin Huggins/USFWS Video description: A ma

Lay low, keep it chill, snapping turtles 🧊 These snappers aren’t frozen, they’re just brumating. It might sound super emo, but it’s kinda like hibernating for reptiles. They’re able to continue to absorb oxygen through their skin (around their necks and, um, butts) while they’re underwater for the winter.

With remarkable patience, it lies still at the bottom of the water, its body blending into the surroundings. The turtle’s tongue, equipped with a worm-like appendage, extends out like a clever lure. This fleshy, worm-like extension mimics the movement of prey, enticing curious fish to swim closer. As the fish approach, drawn in by the tempting “bait,” the snapping turtle spri
