Wiki  ..  "The snapping turtle has also long been used in the US, especially in the South.[7] In this case the soup is commonly referred to as snapper turtle soup,[8] or simply snapper soup (not to be confused with red snapper soup, which is made from the fish called a red snapper)."
I once placed a 1 inch thick branch near the mouth and poof, it was in two pieces.
