South American snapping turtle

The South American snapping turtle (Chelydra acutirostris)[1] is a species of turtle in the family Chelydridae.[1] This species, which is endemic to Central and northwestern South America, was previously considered a subspecies of Chelydra serpentina.[1] Its restricted range in South America reflects its recent arrival there as part of the Great American Interchange.
