Dangerous aquatic predators. They lie in wait on muddy bottoms of ponds and sluggish streams with their mouths gaping open to reveal a flesh, wormlike lure. Fish that investigate are grabbed and swallowed whole. They do not hesitate to attack creatures larger than themselves if they feel threatened or their territory is in danger. They cannot retract their head into their shell, unlike most turtles.
