The snapping turtle... A creature that has always been central to Brave Wilderness... A creature that could be lurking in the pond behind your house... A creature that is fabled for its infamous bite... But just how powerful is its bite? Can a snapper actually crush bone? Can a snapper really sever a finger from a human hand? How does a human's bite force compare a snapping turtle's? All of these questions and more are answered in this incredible episode.

Coyote begins by testing his own bite force at a local dentist office. He then teams up with Ray Tiller, a day1 Brave Wilderness fan who has followed in Coyote's footsteps as a wildlife expert and adventurer, to conduct the ultimate snapping turtle bite test.
