Snapping Turtles [PDF ebook] 

When left alone, snapping turtles don’t do much except look for food and bask in shallow water. But if they feel threatened, these huge reptiles may snap-and they have a powerful bite. Including their commonly aggressive nature and the differences between the common snapper and the alligator snapper, readers are introduced to a wild animal they could actually encounter. Fun fact boxes add to achievable content, while colorful photographs help readers recognize the "dinosaur of the turtle world."
