Happy World Turtle Day! 🐢 🌎 
In honor of today we’re highlighting Old Greg, our 40+ year old alligator snapping turtle. 
Fun Fact: The Alligator Snapping Turtle has a very unique hunting strategy! They have an appendage on their tongue resembling a worm. This feature helps them lure in pray as they lurk at the bottom of lakes, rivers, and swamps 🐠🐟
📍Visit Old Greg today. Located in the Children’s Zoo
