Try with the Alligator Snapping Turtle next time, and see how much damage the Alligator Snapping Turtle can do to the prosthetic hand, because the Common Snapping Turtle is only a prelude, the Alligator Snapping Turtle is the main event.
Oh boy, Opera! Now another RU-vidr to be wary of who accepts Chinese owned browser and VPN company that has a shady history and poor privacy policy! Thanks Coyote Peterson! I always wanted my data sold to the Chinese for a browser!
I really appreciate the emphasis you guys put on the warning bites, as dangerous as these guys can be they are generally harmless, more scared of you than you are of them. Better to be aware then afraid.
I'm glad we're DIVING back to the traditional "Catching Snapping Turtles after jumping off a Kayak" videos. I remember after the Breaking Trails trailer, the next oldest episode is about catching Snapping Turtles😊❤
Glad Coyote is back, and representing my home town of Columbus! Blendon Woods is an amazing park, and it's awesome he was able to find such an amazing turtle specimen.
It's always awesome to see the snapping turtles! We already know how powerful a bite can be. This was amazing, I always come back to watch your videos.
I knew a guy (friend's dad) that had his Achilles tendon completely severed by a snapping turtle through a Wellington boot...He swears that it was an alligator snapping turtle, and being Southern Ontarian Canadian and this anecdote taking place in Southern Ontario, you'd probably think this was a tall tale.... But I have caught several Alligator Snappers in my youth... plus the dude had a permanent limp walked with a cane and had very little flexibility and range of motion in his left foot...
@@Lost1ntheSauc3 he said it felt like hand grabbed around his ankle and squeeze a little and then couldn't feel his foot, but hardly any pain... To be honest this story stuck with me because I became a commercial and residential/rual landscaper and I thought about it everytime I had to long grass with a trimmer especially around ponds and marshy fields LOL...
Totally believable. As a kid in Southern Ontario I kept a baby Alligator Snapping Turtle I caught in the nearby swamp as a pet for about a year. That thing was so aggressive it would tear apart anything else that went in the tank. In the time I had it it grew at least double in size, and seeing the writing on the wall, I let it go back where I found it. It was only years later that I was able to identify it as being a definite Alligator type. Technically I don't think they're even supposed to be in Southern Ontario, but their range does officially go into Illinois and Ohio which are just the other side of Lake Erie. Somehow I don't think the turtles care too much about what the maps say.
Coyote uploading a video on if a snapping turtle can break a hand and Clint’s Reptiles uploading a video on what he thinks should be a new way of holding one, coincidence, yes but interesting.
I watched that video yesterday. I was thinking it's funny how they each ended up posting a common snapping turtle video. Clint's is focused on showing they are capable of amazing behavior if you treat them right. Regardless of the difference of focus of their videos, I love these snapping turtles
I remember reading somewhere that a human finger is only a little harder to bite off than a carrot. No surprise that big boy bit clean through! Definitely an animal that demands respect
The fact that Coyote Peterson picked up the turtle just like how Clint from Clint's reptiles explained makes me like his nature knowledge ever more. Also I love how Coyote claimed the turtle was super angry meanwhile the turtle was chilling in the canoe.
Ah reminds me of the good old days of Aligator Snapping Turtle saga on the channel Snapping turtles are more dangerous tho apparently so thats fun lol Clints reptiles just made a video on how to handle one without hurting it by pulling on the tail or shell
This! Came to look if someone else had seen it. That turtle is pissed because someone is basically pulling it up by its skeleton. I’d be biting and scratching too! :x
I’m so happy you finally made another turtle video, your old turtle videos inspired me so much that I made my own Channel where I go out and try to catch whatever turtles I can. I would like to thank you for introducing to the world of swamp monsters thanks
9:34 if you watch lord of the rings return of the king, even Gollum had to really wriggle frodos hand to bite off frodos ring finger. Crazy enough frodos ring finger bone was bitten off from the second knuckle up, showing a similar result to the ballistic thumb. Peter Jackson made a very accurate finger bite off scene as we can see. Excellent job
Coyote! I would just like to say I watched u A LOT when i was younger!! U were by far the biggest inspiration I've ever had! I literally have all ur books! I haven't watched u in a while cuz I'm more busy now but just hearing it voice is super relaxing😊 so I would just like to say: good luck out there man!❤❤
Had an absolute dinosaur one, notorious for cleavering bluegill as people would reel them in, and i thought he was hooked as i fought him to shore and had lomg reach pliers i was going to unhook when he simply released his bite, not hooked at all, and came like 8 inches out of his shell to snap me and took the pliers with him lol. Then he just sauntered back in the depths of his pond kingdom.
Snapping turtles are so incredibly cool. They are so intelligent and protective, and they all have such unique personalities. I believe all animals are special in their own way but I will always have a special spot in my heart for the common snapping turtle.
Big boy said it's on site lol. Also, notice how he only leveled up the force of his bite as he felt was needed. Basically he was trying to give warnings. Goes to show he is not a danger if you leave him alone. Most animals are like that.
Warning, I'm not an expert. Clint's reptiles shows that holding a snapping turtle that way, makes them upset and possibly hurts them. Holding them under the shell and holding the tail at the same time, seems better. Again, I'm not an expert. I've never even had a pet turtle before. Be safe.
I also was thinking about Clint’s snapping turtle video and wondering if Coyote might want to consider how handling techniques could contribute to discomfort in the animal he’s catching
@@BlueberryHobbit i don't think that how you hold a wild snapper is on your mind when you are trying to catch one or move one most of the time when these wild animals have human encounters they are all ready pissed off and defensive . it might not have any thing to do with how they are being held. if you have a pet snapper then yay you might not want to hold them in a way to piss them off but the wild ones ya you grab them any way you can so not to lose a finger
You shouldn't base your actions around validation (likes) from the Internet. If you truly like her, then respectfully let her know. Nonetheless, I'll still give your comment a 'like'. 🙏🏽
@@Arnell_Mediocrity_LongBut you’re spittin’ facts though. You definitely don’t want to base your actions on others validation as things always turn wrong very quickly.
The really impressive trick is getting a handle on the turtles when you dive in after them and maintaining a safe distance between your hands and that beak
Say prayer: Jesus is Lord and I believe in my heart that God raised him from the death on third days, Forgive me Jesus with your shredded shedding blood on the cross and save me in Jesus name amen.
