We can accurately distinguish male and female snapping turtles according to these different points:

1. Look at the location of the excretory holes of the snapping turtles, and compare the positions of the excretory holes of male snapping turtles close to the tail, while the excretory hole of the female snapping turtle is close to the plastron.

2 , Look at the shape of the excretory hole of the South American snapping turtle, maleSouth American snapping turtleThe hole shape is elongated, the femaleSouth American snapping turtlethe holeshape is a circle.

3. Look at the plastron of the South American snapping turtle. Male snapping turtles have obvious depressions in this part, while female snapping turtles appear relatively flat, which is significantly different from male snapping turtles.
