THE STORY SO FAR

which just makes me ask "so, by 'so far', you mean without the stuff that's locked in your silly little Content Vault, then?"

In light of @vikingstid's excellent suggestion I wobbled off research snapping turtles slightly– the chant of "Chelydra serpentina" lives rent-free in my head alongside memories of feeding tongs half a meter long, but I'm not actually up on all the genera. I'm glad I looked! My hunch was right and the family Chelydridae contains two genera: Chelydra my beloathed as well as the far more cinematic Macrochelys.

To my delight the wikipedia page for Macrochelys contains NERD DRAMA: there's an (ongoing?) slapfight over the species count.

M. temminckii the alligator snapping turtle was thought to be the only extant species for a long time. Someone annoyed the turtles around the Suwannee River around 2010ish and discovered, oh these are different, so they added M. suwanniensis to the list. Someone (else?) decided to check the turtles around the Apalachicola River and said, look, these are different too! NERD FIGHT HAS ENSUED as studies argue back and forth about whether M. apalachicolae is real or whether it's just M. temminckii 2.
