‘Invasive’ alligator snapping turtle found in Cumbria and named Fluffy by vets
An “invasive” alligator snapping turtle has been named Fluffy by a vet after being found near a lake in Cumbria.
The animal, which could “certainly give you a nasty nip”, is native to freshwater habitats in North America in states such as Florida and Texas, but was brought to Wild Side Vets in Barrow-in-Furness on Monday.
