Fluffy the alligator snapping turtle – level 1

Fluffy the alligator snapping turtle

22-07-2024 15:00

In Cumbria, people find a turtle in Urswick Tarn. They give it the name Fluffy.

Fluffy is an unusual turtle. It looks cute. But it has a strong bite. Denise Chamberlain knows a lot about turtles. These turtles live in the US. She helps rescue Fluffy. These turtles can break bones with their jaws. They are not illegal as pets. But they are hard to care for.

Denise catches Fluffy. She takes it to a doctor for animals. Fluffy will go to a special place for similar animals. Maybe Fluffy is a pet before. It is important to take care of pets properly.

Difficult words: rescue (to bring someone to a safe place), bone (a hard part in your arm, leg, and so on), jaw (the moving part of the face).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What does Denise Chamberlain do to help Fluffy after catching it?
