lol that's great right there, but i'll just stick with my pit-bulls thank you very much!!!!!
The snapping turtle has one of the strongest bites in the world. Your average large attack/fighting dog has around 300 lbs of pressure per bite, a snapping turtle has just over 1000 lbs. Other animal are a lion(600 pounds of pressure per bite), hyena(500), shark(forget), The only thing stronger was a crocodile..that had 2500.

Maybe we could have a show down once Frank gets big enough

[Guest]

Sharks have like the same pressure as a human I think it is around 300 or so.

I have kept a lot of lizards, turtles, frogs, and fish before. I am a pretty good care keeper of animals, so he shouldn't die, at least not by my fault.

yeah ive had a few turtles, frogs, and snakes...a couple of the frogs for a few years and i had one of my turtles for a little over a year and then let it go

I have a 5 year old little brother. Ill dress him up and put him in a tank. He bites pretty hard too!
