    How on earth were both turtles so relaxed or just unaware of each other? I find it incredible.

    Common snapping turtle: aaaaaaaa Alligator snapping turtle: AAAAAAAA
  • I caught an alligator snapping turtle that weighted no less than 250 or more pounds. So big I couldnt pick it up because I couldnt come close to putting my arms around his shell. Huge. Way bigger than anything I seen on Youtube and that was 15 years ago. Awesome footage and very informative. Always fun to watch. Great video
  • I was laughing when both the turtles were looking at him almost with respect when he was talking 😂

  • @pmh1nic
    I was shock at how fast and far the common snapping turtle could strike.
  • @ritun4656
    I absolutely love how they have a crazed look in their eyes always. XD Suits them so well.
  • The difference is: One will bite your arm, while the other will bite your arm off.
  • Snapping turtle: Who are you? Alligator snapping turtle: I am you, but better.
  • 2:34 That Alligator Snapping Turtle looked like it knew its queue upon Coyote lecturing about it, and it gladly opened its mouth for the sake of the video when it was about to close its mouth Such a smart turtle😃
  • Alligator snapping turtle: opens his mouth Common snapping turtle: "Yeah imma close mine"
