I'm assuming you mean humans since you said "who" and not "what". Mud and musk turtles are endangered mostly by capturing them from the wild. They are nocturnal, so you're generally not going to run into one during the day. If there is one out of the water during the day, dangers include getting stepped on (if it's a baby) or run over. And again, being removed from the wild.
