Its natural range extends from southeastern Canada, southwest to the edge of the Rocky Mountains, as far east as Nova Scotia and Florida. As you can see they have tremendous power in their jaw. Its neck is very flexible, and a wild turtle can bite its handler even if picked up by the sides of its shell.
