Turtles are doing this to turtles. There are to many in a small area. If have seen this a lot in a overstocked turtle pond. Even in my own a view years ago
I cringed when I first saw this channel last year. Although the keeper stated it is fine for so many different species to be kept in such close proximity, this is proof it is NOT. I have loved animals and tutrles all of my life, (57 yrs) and its painful to see them kept in captivity. No matter how nice the cage looks. When man interferes, it ALWATLYS spells trouble.
Alligators can't bite pieces off it must be a bigger snapping turtle. Maybe the smaller turtles fall for the bigger ones hunting techniques and when they go for the worm/tongue they get their face bitten off.
That is just terrible, one of my least favorite issues to resolve with my animal babies: finding the bully. I'll be praying for all your little guys, thanks for taking us on the journey Kenan!
I've seen noses and tails like hers before, but those were frostbite related, from turtles that didnt quite go into hibernation early enough, or possibly came out of hibernation too soon and were swimming about when the last frost hit (i live in Maine). That being said, i've also seen snapping turtles large enough i am 99% sure they could kill and eat a full grown Cougar if the opportunity arose...Largest one i saw as a kid, was actually big enough the tribe decided he had to go, since he was in our big retention pond we used for a number of things (swimming hole, but also in case we hit a drought). Some may not like this, but he was so large that when he was finally caught and dragged out of the pond, we couldnt get him lifted up into a truck for transport, so we did as we Native do, and made sure to use every bit of him. We needed an Engine lift to pick him up once we had put him down, and it required a 1/2 ton pick up to have enough bed space to put the body into. His shell was nearly 4 feet from front to rear, and he weighed close to 80pounds. Tribes elders said he was largest turtle they had ever seen, and some of them were over 90 at the time. His shell was used to create a traditional 'shrine' of sorts, which we use to hopefully bring good fortune. My Tribe views Turtle as a Spirit of Health and Longevity. We would have simply moved the old shellboy to another pond if we had been able to get him into a container large enugh and then lift said container, but we simply lacked the resources, there were very few places like Kamp Kenan to help with such things back in the late 90s.
@@kanaetyrell4410 that was his other filtered pond. He put it there so he could examine it. The original pond is where all the turtles live but that pond is too dirty to see through.
Hey Kenan!! Poor girl...happy she got away with minimal damage!! Merry Christmas to You, Kate, the kids and Tom!!! Wishing you all the best for the holiday season!!
5:14 Keenan check underneath that spot, maybe the turtle led you to the face chomper and he or she might be underneath that rock ditch area check in there. Just In case, turtles are smart animals and usually have good memory .
I don't understand why you would take a chance and put her back in the same pond. Edit the 1 she got injured in. Glad you're reconsidering. Protect YOURSELF in the big pond!
I think giant snapper as well. You already found a small native snapper it makes sense that there maybe a much bigger one that made it in. Maybe this would eleviate the problem if there was more easy food avalaible.
i want more videos of you swimming in the pond i just love how natural it is and seeing the animal moveing and doing stuff is so awsome and see them eat would be very nice. thank you
Thanks. I was looking for the time jump and found a lot of comments with theories as to what happened. Then I saw your comment and figured there was no answer
The recpond is so cool. You can take your injured animal to quarantine, examination and research+ have a blast doing it...resolving the problem instead of ignoring...say thing like( he its nature) no...you intervene and prevent...it's just awesome. I hope everyone learns from this. Can wait to find out what's over powering the pond. 😁✌
I used to have a small pond with turtles in and the same thing happened. I had turtles with limbs bitten off and several with their face bitten off. Found out it was raccoons raiding the pond and trying to eat my turtles. I must have lost 4-5 turtles. And others survived but were missing some limbs but they healed up and lived for a lot of years. I took them out of the pond and kept them in a big tank on my porch.
I love turtles. I just found your channel. How do you keep all these different species in the pond and keep them from escaping or becoming invasive. I wish I had a place to own hundreds of turtles lol
Here in Spokane, Wa, the ponds freeze over. Curious about what turtles do when they can't surface? The serial face biter must be Clyde the creeper. Good luck.
If you have a alligator snapper in there they are notorious for it. The lure feature they have with their toung tends to rip off heads and faces one snap and it over cheers bro.
@@HighImNick was thinking the young alligator that smaller than the turtle bite on a small piece and spin to take a chunk of meat off. jeb.biologists.org/content/210/16/2811 "juvenile alligators (mean length=0.29 m) performing death rolls in water after biting onto a pliable target."
Has to be another turtle like others have said an alligator couldn't take a bite like that. It could take a limb but part of the face would be unlikely.
@Devin McNulty Ha, because its hard to believe if all the turtles have been living together and feed together, they will attack each other suddenly, at least 2 now.
I used to find them in water with plenty of current back in the hometown where I grew up...I'd regularly grab them out of rapids in only about a foot or less of water depth. I used to find some real big ones in the rapids below the dam.
Have you checked oxygen levels in the big pond? If its too low, some of the fish might have died off. That would mean more turtles eating on the bottom of the pond between the Alligator snappers and afterwards mean more hungry snappers, with dwindling fish stock...
How are you talking underwater? Is that the exact turtle you have had since you were a kid or are you talking about snapping turtles in general? The snapping turtle is the first turtle you caught?
I think it’s the snapping turtle you put in there 20+ years ago. Maybe it’s hurt or just too old (or blind now) to catch the fish in the pond. I hope you find whatever it is soon before any more damage is none.
It's another turtle. Territory rumbles are harsh. If a snapper wants to get big, he/she wants a lot of territory. I've seen this in my cow pond. Probably a lot of times you see snappers traveling, they've lost a bluff and are searching a better territory.

GreenHouse ExoticX I would agree. I think it's fighting & food competition & territory/defending their space.

@@bobbyfischer6149 check out the Cyote peterson vids with the snappers, they're nasty b******ds
Gotta be a snapper that shouldn't be in there. Far fetched but maybe a local got in the pond.
Moto_Grinn94 not too far fetched. He had a mini flood earlier this month.
carschmn, good point. I forgot about the flood. I too think it’s a snapping turtle. Has to be.
He said it was a local Florida snapper that had its face bit off too
Is nobody paying attention he said he had one in there before that he hasn't seen for a while
Any other injury's ? Or just on their noses ?
“gonna be dealin with major shrinkage” 😂😂
Zach Poffenbarger why do we need to know this bruh😂😂😂

It will find it's way to one of them
Thats insane. Considering how touch their beaks are and aggressive their behavior is. Such interesting content

First, the incident happened in a different pool, and second, a smart animal wouldn't go near something that almost killed her before.
Is there any update about crocodile kyle ?

how is poking around one turtle then getting tfo a legend lmao
Geez that’s rough!
It’s hard out there for a turtle!
But it really shows how tough the reptiles are
Time to gather up the animals in the pond to separate all the Snappers.
And make a vid FFS @kampkenan

What state do you live in just curious because I want a cichlid pond myself and o dont know If I would have to invest in a heater or not

How can that not affect her feeding. And self Defense?
She could still crush any prey. Snappers have power full jaws. A bite from her will still hurt alot.
