Submerge into the world of the snapping turtle, a formidable aquatic reptile. With its head underwater, it embodies the wild essence of freshwater ecosystems.

In their environment, they are at the top of the food chain, causing them to feel less fear or aggression in some cases. When they encounter a species unfamiliar to them such as humans, in rare instances, they will become curious and survey the situation and even more rarely may bump their nose on a leg of the person standing in the water.
