Here at seaotter-space, we did not think that the alligator snapping turtle would become the 6th most endangered animal in the world, but it happened. It has a spiked shell, razor- sharp mouth lining, and a strange worm-like tongue. This tongue lures fish closer and closer until-SNAP!!! the snapping turtle lives up to its name. Fish is not the only thing an alligator snapping turtle will eat. It will partake anything it can swallow. That includes any part of you that sticks out close enough. On a freshwater animal 1 to 10 danger scale, 1 being a clam, and 10 being a crocodilian, the alligator snapping turtle rates an 8.5. It is endangered because people eat its eggs and meat too much.
