[@stevebusby6618]

At the beginning of the video, the cameraperson states that the fight had apparently been going on for an hour. Perhaps the snapping turtle had been more aggressive and agile at the start, but by the time the video started, the otter had already injured the turtle.

[@TheChitown5]

@@stevebusby6618 Malawimom never witnessed a fight only heard an otter that had flipped the turtle and was eating it. Turtle was already sick and dying at the start. Otter finished off an easy meal. A healthy adult that size would have easily swam away from the otter if attacked and buried itself in the mud. Snappers can stay under water longer than otters and this one would have been too big to drag out. Otters can't drown snappers but very large adult snapping turtles can drown and kill otters and probably do on occasion in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

[@malawimom]

@@TheChitown5 I think you're absolutely wrong. The turtle was not sick. I had seen it everyday just out from our dock. What I believe happened is somehow the otter got it into thick reeds where the turtle could not maneuver then kept attacking it.

Members of the very large “weasel” family, which otters are, all have unbelievable stamina as in badgers, stealth as in weasels, strength and ferocity as in honey badgers and wolverines, and unbelievable focus and determination as in mongooses (especially against large fast and deadly snakes). It’s perhaps the most amazing carnivorous family in all of the mammalian orders (I probably didn’t say that right but you know what I mean). Stories about them, as in this video, are fascinating to watch, unless you like snapping turtles.

[@Undivided-X]

Agree with all except mongooses. Not disputing their abilities, just that they're not members of the Mustelid family (weasels) but are Herpestids, they have their own family. Also they're Feliformes, having more cat-like features evolutionarily, whereas mustelids are caniformes.

[@mikecollins622]

That's how otters drown turtles, they flip them over in the water just like that, when a turtle is flipped over on its shell, it sticks its head out instantly. This allows the otter too drown it while it's on top of the turtle , I've seen this technique done before when I lived in Minnesota,. Very clever I'd say.

[@princepouncer2729]

The snapping turtle was a very young juvenile , with extemely soft fleshy underparts and joint-areas which this seasoned and naturally intelligent otter knew how to use to its advantage. Notice how the otter spent some time constantly bowling the young turtle over so as to fatigue and mentally / physically drain it before it began to properly dispatch it via soft side joints.

[@A_Cowboy_called_JackRabbit]

That "very young juvenile" snapping turtle was merely a common snapping turtle, as opposed to the much larger, much more aggressive alligator snapping turtle, roughly 10-30yrs old, based on its size in relation to the otter. Like all species of turtles, as well as tortoises, it is soft around its carapace, in the areas about the neck, legs, and tail.

[@princepouncer2729]

@@A_Cowboy_called_JackRabbit Thanks. Awesome facts. Yes , large reptilian species are documented to have extraordinarily long lifespans such as snappers. I believe that there may not be an actual physical size growth limit amongst them. These guys can get remarkably huge. Correct?

@@princepouncer2729 , The Alligator Snapping Turtle gets over 200 lbs , the Common Snapping Turtle around 80 or so if I recall correctly. The Common Snapping Turtle has a long neck and can strike fast. The Alligator Snapping Turtle has a short neck and can't reach out and get you like s Common Snapping Turtle. The Alligator Snapping Turtle is not nearly as aggressive as the Common Snapping Turtle. They basically have to wait for you to get careless and leave a body part close enough for them to get it.

And to the idiots who think the otter is an asshole, take a look in the mirror, there's the asshole. The otter is surviving. It's doing what it has to do to survive.
