TL;DR Summary

A "dangerous" alligator snapping turtle, native to Florida, was found in Cumbria and named "Fluffy" by vets. The reptile, known for its strong jaw capable of biting through bone, was likely abandoned by an exotic pet owner. Unable to determine its gender, the turtle will be relocated to a wildlife centre in Cornwall. Alligator snapping turtles are invasive and can grow up to 100cm long, weighing up to 90kg, posing a threat to local wildlife.
