Softshell Turtle 🐢  The Florida softshell turtle (Apalone ferox) is a large, highly aquatic reptile known for its leathery, soft shell, long neck, and snorkel-like snout, found in freshwater habitats across Florida and the southeastern U.S. They are powerful swimmers and predators, eating fish, crustaceans, and insects, but are also known to be aggressive and can deliver a strong bite, making them difficult to handle. Juveniles are brightly colored, while adults are typically dark brown or gray. #floridacheck #turtles #turtlesoftiktok #animalsurvival #loveisland
