Default Bitten by Snakes or Snapping Turtles while Swimming?

An old snapper, lazy and embedded in a snug mud-hole or rocky
stream bed, will not flee. It will just wait for something to
happen by, and, be it fish, stick or foot, will bite what it
can reach, in hope of a meal or morsel.

And they are certainly fearless, and they are certainly not slow. Long
necks, too.
