Ocean on Instagram: "This video shows a clever hunting technique used by certain turtles, especially the alligator snapping turtle. The turtle stays completely still with its mouth open and moves a small, worm-like part of its tongue. Fish mistake the tongue for food and swim closer. The moment the fish comes near, the turtle snaps its mouth shut and catches it instantly. This smart method allows the turtle to hunt without chasing, saving energy while trapping prey using deception and patience.
