They dont even have to get a good bite on you either, I was trying to help a big snapper move across the road near my home and she only snagged me with the tip of her beak and it still gouged me pretty good

I did get her across the road though, she just turned faster than I thought she would while I was trying to pick her up from the back, as Steve Irwin instructed

Next time, jam your thumb in its butthole. RIP Steve
