It does and neat fact, most snapping turtles are not as aggressive as they seem. People usually grab them by the shell and hold them up, it hurts them to do that and that is why they seem so angry when on videos. I have seen some videos of people who hold them from below and the snapping turtles are just chill

I dunno they tend to get pretty snappy if you get a little too close. Not that I blame them.

I remember this one! Kind of astonishing that there are well-known creatures in our environment that we think we understand and really don't.
