Practically speaking, certain proteins are found commonly in pigs that are uniquely beneficial to some turtles, for example the chelydra serpentina (snapping turtle). Typically, it is the younger pigs that are the prey to this opportunistic predator, having the vital organs within reach of the turtle's striking range. Snapping turtles can strike viciously when lifted from water or teased, and can inflict a serious bite. While lifting turtles from water in obviously an anatomical impossibility for pigs, much like a squirrel that taunts dog, pigs have been known to develop a carping behavior when in proximity of turtles or other amphibians.
