A rare prehistoric looking turtle only found in south Georgia and north Florida might soon gain federal protection after struggling to rebound.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this week that it has proposed listing the Suwannee alligator snapping turtle as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The announcement kicks off a public comment period that will wrap up this June.
The turtle is the largest found in north American rivers, with some males weighing in at more than 200 pounds. The Suwannee gator snapper makes its home in the waterways flowing through Tifton and Valdosta before emptying into the Gulf of Mexico.

Returning to South Georgia Motor Sports Park (SGMP) in Adel on February 25-28 with radial tires and 3500 horses in tow, Coast Packing Company’s R&E Racing will uncork its ’69 Noonan Hemi ProCharger Pro Mod Camaro at Duck X Productions’ “LightsOut 12” (http://www.racedxp.com/), with “takeout or delivery” #FatMap229. For the event, Coast CEO Eric R. “Goose” Gustafson will yield the wheel to veteran driver Jason Lee.
Showcasing the “baddest Radial vs. the World” cars, Duck X Productions LLC will welcome R&E Racing’s return to Adel, just months after its appearance in October’s Sweet 16 3.0 and its runner-up finish at SGMP at “No Mercy,” the week after Sweet 16 3.0 – “a pretty incredible feat considering it was the first time the car raced on Radial tires,” Gustafson says.
