Wow… I knew that some turtles ate meat, but… Wow.
Note to self: Leave the nice turtles alone…
To everyone who ignored the photoshop idiots, kudos.

Snapping turtles have ridged shells and very large heads – they can’t pull their head into their shell like most turtles.
Picture of a snapping turtle:

This turtle has nothing in common with them – flat, smooth shell, small head.

Any turtle will do this if it’s hungry or threatened, though. They’re not as big as a snapping turtle’s, but nearly all turtles have beaks and the ability to shoot their head out like this. Even the cute baby sliders you see at the pet store will take a finger off if you stick it in their face.

I too thought snapping turtles had lower shells and red cheeks. I believe this turtle was VERY hungry.

That was NOT a snapping turtle. ANY turtle will eat meat. Turtles are ominivors. They will eat plants or animal flesh. I believe that may be a box turtle or something along those lines. It was definitely not a snapper.

“reptiles belong to the kingdom animalia, they are animals. why was that crossed out?”

Don’t be too surprised. My elementary teachers thought INSECTS weren’t animals.

turtles are generally slow because they are cold blooded and need to conserve energy, and also because they are fairly well protected by their shells. That doesn’t mean they are always slow. They are mostly omnivorous, with a tendency toward carnivorous, and some like the notorious “snapping turtle” are strictly carnivorous. in nature, you eat what you can get. and sometimes you can get a pigeon. to someone who spent entire youth waist deep in mud and rivers chasing reptiles, this video is not very suprising. Yes, water turtles such as sliders, terrapins, painted turtles and snappers can be VERY fast when in their own element!
