Suwannee Snapping Turtle – Signed Fine Art Print

The Suwannee snapping turtle is a species of very large freshwater turtle in the family Chelydridae. The turtle is only found in the Suwannee River basin, which runs through south Georgia southward into Florida in the southern United States. It is one of only two known species in the genus Macrochelys (the other being the far more widespread Alligator Snapping Turtle. Due to its slow generation time, it is highly vulnerable to direct stressors such as illegal turtle hunting and indirect stressors such as habitat destruction, which pollutes the water it inhabits.
