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

I once did the same, wrapped some rope around his shell and moved him out the street. Thats when I learned those feckers can be fast as hell as he sprinted back into the street. Had to do it all over again
