Chelydra serpentina
A large freshwater turtle with a long thick tail. Very agressive when out of water.
Wide variety of aquatic habitats: ponds, marshes, swamps, sloughs, rivers, canals, ditches, etc..
They eat just about anything they can fit in their jaws: insects, fish, crayfish, snails, earthworms, amphibians, small mammals, snakes, birds, aquatic vegetations, and even carrion.
