Mata mata turtles primarily inhabit the slow-moving rivers, streams, and swamps of the Amazon and Orinoco basins in South America, particularly in countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. They prefer areas with abundant aquatic vegetation, which provides both habitat and camouflage. These turtles thrive in freshwater environments where they can easily find food and shelter.

Mata mata turtles have a unique dental structure; they do not possess true teeth. Instead, they have sharp, bony ridges on their jaws that aid in capturing and holding onto prey, primarily aquatic animals like fish. Their beak-like jaws are adapted for their specialized feeding habits, allowing them to effectively consume their food in their watery habitat.
