The video features Coyote Peterson, a wildlife enthusiast, who decides to test the bite force of an alligator snapping turtle. He first asks his audience on Instagram and Facebook if he should be bitten by the turtle, and over 95% of them respond positively.
He then explains his previous experiences with dangerous animals and expresses his nervousness about getting his arm into the turtle's jaws. Despite the risks, he decides to go through with it due to the audience's encouragement.
Peterson tests the turtle's bite force by attaching a turkey leg to a piece of bamboo and letting the turtle bite down on it. The turtle's jaws cut deeply into the turkey leg, which is then attached to his forearm to simulate a bite. Despite the turtle's ability to cut through the turkey leg, Peterson decides not to put his arm in the turtle's mouth unprotected.
He builds a brace on his arm using an ACE bandage, four splints, and some sports wrap for protection. Despite the warnings from others, he enters the strike zone with the turtle. At some points, he screams and groans from the pressure. The turtle's beak pierces through the bamboo and into his arm, causing him to feel nauseous and a throbbing sensation in his arm.
Despite the experience, Peterson concludes the video by thanking his audience and expressing his desire for a second season of his show, Dragon Tails. He also mentions that he had a website before launching Dragon Tails and provides a promotional code for a 20% discount on new domains, web posting, and email services on Domain.com.
