Snappy.

Snapping Turtle nesting right by the rock at a dog park.A French Bull Dog had a smell and almost lost its snout.The Dog backed off just before the powerful jaws came clamping down and never messed with it again.

Funny how they don't look snappy until the jaw opens and slams shut.I watched that dude, he is a madman.

Yup, these guys should come with their own warning label. Definitely not like the ones I saw in the Galapagos.
