Those waterlilies don’t stand a chance! We happened across a big ol’ Common Snapping Turtle eating up the American White Waterlilies in our pond. The Common Snapping Turtle is widespread across the Eastern United States, and while they are famous for snapping up prey animals including fish, frogs, and even mammals. But they also eat aquatic vegetation as seen here!

This footage is sped up, the turtle was in no hurry!
