How are snapping turtles great photographers? They know how to capture a moment- among other things! This species can capture a subject off guard and is the only species with a body part for luring prey - their tongue, which looks deceptively like a worm.

3…2…1… Happy Newt Year!

DYK that all newts are salamanders, but not all salamanders are newts? Maybe that's some new newt knowledge for the new year.
