The Snapping Turtle’s Defense | Kratts Creatures

Alongside the Kratt brothers, check out the snapping turtle and learn about their unique characteristics! Viewers learn that snapping turtles hardly ever leave the water, with the exception of egg-laying. They also learn that the vicious snap of the turtle serves as a defense mechanism from predators because they cannot hide in their shells like other species of turtles.
