We made a 20 lb turkey not too long ago so I held one of the legs in the water that had a little meat on it still and he grabbed it and I felt this cracking sound vibrating through the bone and into my hand, he bit clean through the bone.
? Wow that bite force must be pretty strong i guess

Thank you! I have to be more careful, I definitely wasn't expecting him to jump out, that had to hurt when the puffer got you.
Yes it did. Luckily it was just a pinch.
Took a tiny snip off the tip.

I got bit by a 13 inch purple rose queen once, he bit my upper arm and wouldn't let go, I was bleeding pretty good as they have little needle like teeth
