Turtle, Alligator Snapping Macroclemys temminckii 132, 192. From Wordnik.com. [The Field Guide to Wildlife Habitats of the Eastern United States] Reference
Macroclemys, the alligator snapper, is altogether different from Chelydra in terms of what it does and what it can do. From Wordnik.com. [Archive 2006-05-01] Reference
Like Chelydra, Macroclemys grabs crustaceans, worms, fish, frogs and snakes, and it also eats static prey like plants and clams. From Wordnik.com. [Archive 2006-05-01] Reference
Recall that the term ‘snapper’ refers specifically to Chelydra serpentina, and is never used for alligator snapper Macroclemys temminckii. From Wordnik.com. [Archive 2006-02-01] Reference
On the taxonomic side of things, check the literature and you see an annoying amount of inconsistency on the generic name, with authors switching between Macroclemys, Macroclemmys and Macrochelys. From Wordnik.com. [Archive 2006-02-01] Reference
