Mata Mata

The mata mata is one weird-looking turtle. All photos are from the Columbus Zoo.

It's got a huge mouth (video). One time I saw it open, along that line below the nose and eyes.

  2. nice colors Steve, I might want that 2nd one to put in a frame. It's so alive. That's a snapping turtle correct ?

    1. All I can say for certain is it's a mata mata. I'm thinking it's not a snapping turtle.
