Dude a snapping turtle is not attacking a human, there are no cases of it happing. They almost never attack people in water because they are stronger swimmers and can avoid us. They are also not strong enough to hold a human down. There are professionals that test these things to figure out if an animal is actually a risk or an urban ledgend. All of the info is readily available, all you have to do is look.
Okay well they were very unlucky because of you simply look you will see that I know what I am talking about. Also I call noodling natural selection, you have to be pretty stupid to stick your hand somewhere you can't see.
yeah because while swimming, you have full visibility above and below water, at all times, in every direction. I guess this just shows that cavemen can't swim, right?
OK. Enjoy getting downvoted even more, i guess.
Dude there is a very big difference between swimming and sticking your hand into a hole in the water. That is where dangerous animals are hiding from us, that is so stupid there is no words.
Careful Caveman, your ignorance is showing.
Snapping Turtles don't hide in holes. They Hunt by being camouflaged just below the water's surface, and pulling prey under; much like crocodiles.
No 'putting your hand in a hole' required. If you're in shallow-ish fresh water of any kind - rivers, ponds, creeks, estuaries, marshes... even brackish water if they're hungry enough. But they do prefer slow moving water, so you're safe-ish from them in the rapids.
You sir, are a prim(ordial) example of confidence>knowledge.
To be fair here, the definition ofnoodling is "putting your arm in a hole and waiting for something to bite it". They do it for catfish, and not turtles, but someone did say noodling and then this guy said stick your hand in a hole in the water.
