  • Macroclemys, the alligator snapper, is altogether different from Chelydra in terms of what it does and what it can do.
  • Like Chelydra, Macroclemys grabs crustaceans, worms, fish, frogs and snakes, and it also eats static prey like plants and clams.
  • Recall that the term ‘snapper’ refers specifically to Chelydra serpentina, and is never used for alligator snapper Macroclemys temminckii.
