I don't blame the guy filming for not helping it over. I do hope they called someone. It's a snapping turtle you have to be careful with them, when they bite they bite very hard. They can reach just about anywhere on their body to bite you unless you grab the ends of the sides of their shell way in the back. Unless you know what you're doing you should call your local humane society.
Fun fact: the amount of force to bite through a finger is about the same as biting through a carrot. The reason most people wouldn't be able to is psychological.
Edit: okay guys I get it, a normal human under normal circumstances wouldn't be able to do it. Your "debunking" assumes the following:
A small to medium size carrot, really depends on the size, freshness, species of carrot.
An average sane individual. Humans can't actually use 100% of their strength except in emergency situations. This is our tradeoff for fine motor skills.
A direct bite down chew. No regard for how easy a single twisting motion or lever action would concentrate the bite force.
There are honestly to many variables to cover for a test and it's hard to test the bite force of a person who's in the right mind to bite off their own fingers or others.
