| Abstract |
|
During the spring and summer of 1991 we investigated the distribution of the alligator snapping turtle (Macroclemys temminckii) in Kansas by surveying 12 historical sites and 72 other possible sites of occurrence in southeastern Kansas rivers and streams. Although we captured 1002 turtles of eight different species, no alligator snapping turtles were noted by us. However, a single adult female alligator snapping turtle was collected by anglers in May 1991. Documented records and reports of the alligator snapping turtle in Kansas are compiled and natural history information pertaining to this species in Kansas is reviewed.
