Yes, turtles have been known to eat humans. Turtles are slow, but can be very dangerous animals if you do not know how to protect yourself from them. Typically a person can outrun a turtle given sufficient time to react. However, on occasion, the animal will approach a slow-moving or stopped person and bite through the shoe into their heel. This causes the person to writhe in pain and then fall to the ground. While the person is screaming for help, the turtle will slowly make its way to the person's head. The animal then begins to bite through the skull. The turtle is, for whatever reason, attracted to the taste of the human brain. If the victim is not able to receive help in time, they will most likely die. Turtles' teeth are almost eighteen (18) times stronger than those of humans, making for a problematic situation if one is caught by this animal. Being self-aware when in the wild is key to not becoming a turtle's dinner.
