Musk turtles sometimes bite other turtles. Although they are not as fierce as snapping turtles, they occasionally attack other turtles. But musk turtles are timid and afraid of bright light, and when they are attacked or disturbed, they quickly release a foul-smelling liquid from their musk glands. Although musk turtles are aggressive, they can also be mixed with other turtles, such as yellow-headed and side-necked turtles and razor turtles.
