The video features Coyote Peterson, a wildlife rehabilitator, who is about to test the bite force of an alligator snapping turtle. He initially posted a question on social media asking if he should be bitten by an alligator snapping turtle, and more than 95% of the responses were in favor of it.
Peterson then puts his arm into the turtle's jaws, with a turkey leg attached to the back of a piece of bamboo, to see the damage the turtle's jaws are capable of doing. Despite his initial nervousness, he proceeds with the test, which results in the turtle cutting through the turkey leg.
The turtle's bite force is estimated to be around twelve hundred pounds per square inch. Peterson admits that he could not have done this without protection, so he builds a brace on his arm using an Ace bandage for splints and some sports wrap.
Despite his preparations, the turtle pierces his arm, causing him to feel pressure unlike anything he's experienced before. He describes the experience as a "crazy" and "incredible" first season of Dragon Tales, his show.
Peterson warns that if one were to be bitten by an alligator snapping turtle, it would be a severe experience. He emphasizes not to antagonize these animals and to always be cautious around them.
In the end, Peterson thanks the turtle for the bite and expresses his excitement for the next season of Dragon Tales. He also promotes a website, domain.com, where viewers can get a 20% discount on new domains, web hosting, and email by using the code "coyote".
