The AlliGator

Lets see... Most of my time i keep wondering y would people keep animals like these as pets.. but then, looking back at other types of pets.. i guess it all depends on a person's interest.. And yupp, i guess i also know someone with these types of interest.. And the animal of interest i'm talkin about is the Alligator Snapping Turtle... Here's a few pictures i got from the internet..
Ok.. So they look kinda weird at first.. but then after a while.. I actually gotten fascinated by these creatures... Not only by it's looks.. But by the way it finds its prey..
First of all they have this tongue that is red and thin and wriggles around looking like a blood worm.. so i guess that's how it lures the fishies in.. Then upon snapping the fish, it uses its claws to tear apert the fish's head and swallow it..
Phew... It sounds dangerous but believe me, it takes a lot of patience to be able to watch this little fellow get some food.. Hehehe...
