A turtle survived a 15 minute fight with an alligator that failed to break its protective shell.
An alligator bites down with a force of up to 2,900 pounds of pressure but despite its strength, this reptile was still unable to crack the turtle’s shell.
Amazing photographs captured the tussle in the wild as the six foot South American alligator attempted to prise the shell open.
The images were taken by American wildlife photographer Patrick Castleberry, 51, who said he was astounded to find the turtle still alive after the alligator had abandoned it.
Mr Castleberry, who was studying herons in the Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia, said: ‘It was definitely turtle one, alligator nil.
