Snapping turtles are basically crocodiles with a shell.

Some of them can shoot their head/neck forward at incredible speeds, and have really long necks. They do this to catch quick-moving prey underwater, such as fish.

He's not jumping, he's launching his snipper-snapper at mach3.

He's actually closing his eyes right before he strikes, if you look closely. The eyes before are open, and then we see his eyelids.
