His animal care team gave him the experience of "stumbling" across a carcass to encourage those instinctive behaviors of tearing and chomping at his food. In addition to being stimulating for Capone mentally and physically, feeding him whole prey items gives him a range of nutrients and fiber naturally. | Brevard Zoo | Facebook

Alligator snapping turtle feeding time. They are the largest freshwater turtles in the world. They are primarily carnivorous, eating mostly fish and other aquatic animals. When hunting, these ambush predators stay motionless in the water and reveal the worm-like appendage on their tongues to lure unsuspecting prey. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
