A video from Canada of a snapping turtle biting a man on the hand.

In the clip, which was filmed in Thunder Bay, the man spies the large reptile by the side of the road and then decides to try to make it snap at a blade of grass.

The plan backfires badly when the reptile bites him on the hand, drawing blood.

"I guess I kinda deserved that one," the man says into the camera.

"Don't bug a snapping turtle," he concludes.
