Symbiotic relationships
The Alligator snapping turtle does not interact with a lot a organisms.
Parasitism means one is benefits and the other gets harmed, for a alligator snapping turtles one from of this is leaches, the leaches are harming the turtle by attaching to there shell and taking blood away from the turtle and this hurts very badly.

Also a human is another type of parasitism because if a human gets close the alligator snapping turtle will attack so they alligator will attack causing the human to bleed and that benefits the turtle from not getting harmed/ killed and putting human in great pain.

Another type is symbiotic is commensalism that means one benefits and other is not harmed. One form of this is Algae and the alligator snapping turtle the algae hooks on the the shell of the turtle and the turtle is not harmed.

Mutuatisum is another type of sysbiotic relationships that means both organisms benefits the alligator snapping turtle does not have very many of these because they do not interact with very many animals. One would be a fish because the fish do not get eaten by the turtle and the turtle would protect them other animals would see the snapping turtle and think they should not go in to get the fish because the turtle will eat them. So the fish in benefited because they are not dining and the turtle is getting food.
