One of the gnarliest things I've ever seen. This snapping turtle has completely lost the skin/ muscle connection between its lower jaw and throat. This has left its hyoid and jaw detached, it would seem like a life threatening condition for most animals, but per usual with turtles they make do with what's available and keep on livin. #turtle #snappingturtle #reptile #fyp #biology #ecology #herpetology #nature #wildlife #jaw #chelydraserpentina #chelydra #reptiles #testudines #turtles #natureisme
