Common snapping turtles occupy a niche as opportunistic carnivores in freshwater ecosystems, primarily found in rivers, ponds, and lakes. They play a vital role in controlling populations of various aquatic organisms, including fish, amphibians, and invertebrates, thereby maintaining ecological balance. Their scavenging habits also help in the decomposition process, contributing to nutrient cycling within their habitats. Additionally, snapping turtles serve as prey for larger predators, further integrating them into the food web.
