If this picture is real that guy is pretty strong to be holding a turtle that big away from his body.

OK, edumacate a dummy from Washington State, where we don't get any of those nasty looking fuckers........I Have never seen anything remotely close to as big, mean, nasty and ugly as that thing. What kind of "turtle" is this ? A Snapping Turtle ? This thing looks like it could take a grown man's leg off below the knee with just one bite. Any information from you guys in the know would be appreciated.

Looks like an alligator snapping turtle. We get good sized snappers here in Wisconsin, but nothing like that.

It would be nice if this was true. The primary explosive used by goat fuckers is TATP which is hydrogen peroxide and acetone.

Yet again- I learned something new

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone_peroxide
Acetone peroxide is an organic peroxide and a primary high explosive. It is produced by the oxidation of acetone to yield a mixture of linear monomer and cyclicdimer, trimer, and tetramer forms. The trimer is known as triacetone triperoxide (TATP) or tri-cyclic acetone peroxide (TCAP). The dimer is known as diacetone diperoxide (DADP). Acetone peroxide takes the form of a white crystalline powder with a distinctive bleach-like odor (when impure) or a fruit-like smell when pure and can explode if subjected to heat, friction, static electricity, concentrated sulfuric acid, strong UV radiation or shock. As a non-nitrogenous explosive, TATP has historically been more difficult to detect, and it has been used as an explosive in several terrorist attacks since 2001.

I say regular snapping turtle. Color of skin and size of the beak is not right for an alligator. An alligator snapper is more reddish/orange, and the beak more pronounced, like a raptor.
 
The back of the shell is a dead giveaway, but you can’t see it. On second look it may be an alagator. It does look pretty orange, and it’s hard to tell but that may be a hook on its beak...

You can kill and eat the regular ones, but the alagator is protected.

Regular ones are good eating. Flushing them in clean water alive for 2-3 days is key
 
Are the as dangerous as they look ? They look like I wouldn't want to even be in the same state as them.

Well the video shows some of the bite force. I don't think a big one would have any problem taking off a finger or maybe a hand. I'm sure it happens but I've never heard of anyone getting bit. I've got a couple of friends that do alligator snapper research and they've caught/marked/released hundreds over the years without incident. In a former life I was a herpetologist but never worked with alligator snappers.
 

Looks promising. As a new member with less than 100 posts, you are required to post the backstory. Please keep in mind that at least 1/2 your audience transports via a walker and half of those carry O2 bottles. Spill the beans with that in mind. ;)

The old tale in Texas is, they won't let go until it thunders.

Last week, I was standing next to my wife's driver door as she was facing the entry gate, she said "is that a package for you, outside the gate?". I turned around and saw a snapping turtle a foot wide.

I said "nah, just a snapping turtle crossing the driveway. I need to distract the dogs before they engage, and learn the hard truth about snapping turtles".

Adios Danica... spend your millions well! Only time you were ever in the winners circle... was when you were with your BOYFRIEND... the NASCAR driver...

You should have spent some of your Go Daddy earnings... on driving lessons.

You set back women's rights... by decades with your bad driving and soft-core porn predilections... If you had been a good driver.... you would not have had to show your tits in order to get attention. But now, noone wants to see you drive... or your skankish ways.

Cheers and good riddance...
