Police divers are hunting a snapping turtle that bit a 15-year-old boy on the penis in an alpine lake.
They believe the turtle had probably been dumped in the lake at Grossweil in Bavaria by its owner after it got too big for its tank.
They say the animals, that are natives to North America and are illegal to own in Germany, usually avoid human contact unless cornered.
They are puzzled as to why the turtle should have attacked the teenage swimmer.
The boy was bitten through the swimming trunks on his private parts and then bitten again on the hand as he tried to scramble out of the water.
He realised what it was that was attacking him when the turtle latched onto his finger, leaving a deep wound that needed several stitches.
Snapping turtles can reach a weight of six stone and live for 80 years, but police believe that if they failed to catch the latest turtle escapee it will not survive through the winter when the lake freezes over.
Despite the hot weather locals have been avoiding the lake since the incident, but so far there has been no further sign of the turtle and the hunt by police divers has been unsuccessful.

Heheh. Just when we all thought it was safe to go back into the water eh? Although I do wonder what the authorities would do with the little shelled devil if it were caught. Hopefully nothing bad.
