Inside the World of Mississippi’s Largest Turtles with Biologist Luke Pearson

In this episode, Matt Wyatt sits down with wildlife biologist Luke Pearson of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to explore one of Mississippi's most fascinating and misunderstood creatures: the alligator snapping turtle. Mississippi holds some of the highest populations in the entire world, especially in the Delta region, where food-rich rivers help these reptiles grow to extraordinary sizes — sometimes 150 pounds or more.
