Snapping Turtles (The Library of Turtles and Tortoises)

With powerful jaws that can cut through flesh like butter, these grumpy turtles have a temperament to match their snappish bite. They're content to prowl freshwater in search of food, but pull them onto land and they get really mad. Most snappers hibernate in winter, but some are so tough that they crawl around under the ice of lakes and streams. The common snapping turtle and the scary looking alligator snapper are both featured in this fun and factual book.
