Will those little guys take a chunk of your thumb off? I’ve heard stories of people losing arms to bigger turtles when they go noodling. Maybe those are tall tales, but either way don’t go noodling.

Probably not the tortoise in the picture, since they are herbivores. But certainly a species of snapping turtle, top of the list would be an alligator snapping turtle. I wouldn’t doubt it could rip off an entire limb.
Read up on those monsters. They can live up to 200 years in extreme cases, they found one with a musket shot still in it from the civil war area.

This is apparently 200lbs. Looks like it could take a whole damn head off actually.
