It is believed that alligator snapping turtles can live 80 to 120 years.

Snapping turtles are mean. Compared to a snapping turtle, an alligator is relatively docile!.................

If it was in Kentucky then it must have been a confederate turtle and must be erased!

Quite true. In the Florida countryside, I have picked up both smallish alligators and large snapping turtles that had stopped on the road as they pondered their next move. Pound for pound, snapping turtles are nastier and usually more dangerous.
