Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:11,098 --> 00:00:12,838
Over
the course of my life,
2
00:00:12,969 --> 00:00:14,536
I have successfully
caught and released
3
00:00:14,666 --> 00:00:16,668
over 500 snapping turtles.
4
00:00:16,799 --> 00:00:23,153
And my goal with each and every
encounter is not to be bit.
5
00:00:23,284 --> 00:00:25,547
These turtles are
incredibly powerful.
6
00:00:25,677 --> 00:00:28,376
And their razor-sharp jaws
are capable of cutting
7
00:00:28,506 --> 00:00:31,683
through human flesh like a
hot knife through butter.
8
00:00:31,814 --> 00:00:33,250
Ah!
9
00:00:33,381 --> 00:00:35,774
It's fair to say that I
have had some close calls.
10
00:00:35,905 --> 00:00:38,864
I've also taken some intentional
bites to show you just
11
00:00:38,995 --> 00:00:41,780
how bad a bite can truly be.
12
00:00:41,911 --> 00:00:42,651
Ah!
13
00:00:42,781 --> 00:00:43,565
Ah!
14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,919
Ah, he's ripping
the side of my hand!
15
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:51,964
Oh my gosh!
16
00:00:52,095 --> 00:00:53,401
And as we are all aware--
17
00:00:53,531 --> 00:00:55,359
there have
also been some pretty
18
00:00:55,490 --> 00:00:59,668
painful and gruesome
unintentional bites.
19
00:00:59,798 --> 00:01:04,151
No matter how careful you are
or how experienced you may be,
20
00:01:04,281 --> 00:01:08,851
accidents in the heat of
action do occasionally happen.
21
00:01:08,981 --> 00:01:11,767
Get ready to witness the
worst snapping turtle
22
00:01:11,897 --> 00:01:13,551
bite I have ever taken.
23
00:01:16,685 --> 00:01:20,341
Oh, if you are squeamish,
I will warn you now,
24
00:01:20,471 --> 00:01:22,299
there will be blood.
25
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:24,519
OK, I got another
turtle right around me.
26
00:01:24,649 --> 00:01:27,609
OK, um, I'm trying not to
get bitten by another turtle.
27
00:01:27,739 --> 00:01:29,393
I got a turtle
underneath me right now.
28
00:01:29,524 --> 00:01:31,308
Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on.
29
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:33,005
Huge turtle underneath my foot.
30
00:01:33,136 --> 00:01:34,616
Huge turtle in hand.
31
00:01:34,746 --> 00:01:37,532
OK, this is definitely,
definitely a dangerous scenario
32
00:01:37,662 --> 00:01:38,576
right here.
33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,191
Well, it is another
beautifully sunny day
34
00:01:44,321 --> 00:01:45,627
here in Columbus, Ohio.
35
00:01:45,757 --> 00:01:47,933
And we are out searching
for snapping turtles.
36
00:01:48,064 --> 00:01:50,849
I'm back at Blacklick
Woods, Ashton Pond,
37
00:01:50,980 --> 00:01:52,851
where some of the largest
turtles in the state
38
00:01:52,982 --> 00:01:54,201
currently reside.
39
00:01:54,331 --> 00:01:55,854
You guys know the
turtle I'm looking for.
40
00:01:55,985 --> 00:01:57,117
Maybe you remember
a little episode
41
00:01:57,247 --> 00:01:58,640
where I caught Stump Beak.
42
00:01:58,770 --> 00:02:00,207
This is where he lives.
43
00:02:00,337 --> 00:02:02,034
And right now, I've been
scouting with the binoculars
44
00:02:02,165 --> 00:02:04,080
and have seen several
turtles moving about,
45
00:02:04,211 --> 00:02:07,127
some on the back side of the
pond, and some over here.
46
00:02:07,257 --> 00:02:08,650
Which one of them is Stump Beak?
47
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:10,260
I'm not sure yet.
48
00:02:10,391 --> 00:02:11,870
But with any luck, we're
going to catch him and weigh
49
00:02:12,001 --> 00:02:14,960
him again and see if he has
crested close to 60 pounds
50
00:02:15,091 --> 00:02:16,658
in weight.
51
00:02:16,788 --> 00:02:18,181
Now, this is going to be a
very difficult scenario for me
52
00:02:18,312 --> 00:02:19,748
because I'm going to have
to go out on the kayak
53
00:02:19,878 --> 00:02:21,489
and be extremely stealthy.
54
00:02:21,619 --> 00:02:23,578
These turtles are very much in
tune with their environment.
55
00:02:23,708 --> 00:02:25,667
And the second that they hear
somebody trudging through,
56
00:02:25,797 --> 00:02:28,496
they immediately dive
down into the murky abyss.
57
00:02:28,626 --> 00:02:31,890
So me walking along the edges
of this pond, not possible.
58
00:02:32,021 --> 00:02:35,111
Me in a kayak sneaking up in
stealth mode, with any luck,
59
00:02:35,242 --> 00:02:36,678
we're going to land
ourselves a giant.
60
00:02:40,508 --> 00:02:44,338
Blacklick Woods is home to some
very large dragons, including
61
00:02:44,468 --> 00:02:47,341
the infamous Stump Beak.
62
00:02:47,471 --> 00:02:49,560
I was originally
introduced to this turtle
63
00:02:49,691 --> 00:02:52,346
by wildlife photographer
Karl Hassel, who
64
00:02:52,476 --> 00:02:55,000
captured photographic
evidence of this giant reptile
65
00:02:55,131 --> 00:02:56,959
several years ago.
66
00:02:57,089 --> 00:02:58,961
During the first season
of "Dragon Tails,"
67
00:02:59,091 --> 00:03:00,745
I managed to land the beast.
68
00:03:00,876 --> 00:03:04,096
And he tipped the
scales at 54 pounds.
69
00:03:04,227 --> 00:03:07,230
So I'm curious to learn how much
he has grown in three years.
70
00:03:07,361 --> 00:03:08,927
There he is.
71
00:03:09,058 --> 00:03:11,365
Right back there, underneath
that log, I see Stump Beak.
72
00:03:11,495 --> 00:03:14,629
He is actually moving
into the shallows,
73
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:17,632
likely claiming dominance
of that territory.
74
00:03:17,762 --> 00:03:19,373
And again, right now, it's
breeding season, guys,
75
00:03:19,503 --> 00:03:21,462
so these snapping turtles
are duking it out.
76
00:03:21,592 --> 00:03:24,029
Dragon power fighting
each other for the rights
77
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,596
to breeding territory.
78
00:03:25,727 --> 00:03:28,295
And the giant has just
moved back into that corner.
79
00:03:28,425 --> 00:03:29,252
OK, let's get in the kayak.
80
00:03:29,383 --> 00:03:32,386
I got to catch him now.
81
00:03:32,516 --> 00:03:35,040
If I could land this
behemoth for a second time,
82
00:03:35,171 --> 00:03:36,346
there is a chance
he could become
83
00:03:36,477 --> 00:03:38,479
the living world
record for a wild
84
00:03:38,609 --> 00:03:41,090
caught common snapping turtle.
85
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:44,659
The record currently
hails at 76.5 pounds,
86
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:48,358
and dates back to the year 1988.
87
00:03:48,489 --> 00:03:51,100
Could this turtle, who we
all know as Stump Beak,
88
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,537
have gained 23 pounds
in three years?
89
00:03:53,668 --> 00:03:55,670
Look at how massive
this turtle is!
90
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,716
Only a successful
catch would tell.
91
00:03:58,847 --> 00:04:00,414
I'm halfway through
the pond right now.
92
00:04:00,544 --> 00:04:02,329
I could just see the
carapace breached
93
00:04:02,459 --> 00:04:04,374
on the other side of that log.
94
00:04:04,505 --> 00:04:06,202
OK, we're going to sneak
in real quiet here.
95
00:04:12,077 --> 00:04:13,818
OK, he hasn't heard me yet.
96
00:04:13,949 --> 00:04:14,993
Guys, this could be Stump Beak.
97
00:04:32,968 --> 00:04:34,230
There he is, there he is!
98
00:04:34,361 --> 00:04:35,971
Big turtle, big
turtle, big turtle!
99
00:04:36,101 --> 00:04:37,407
Nice!
100
00:04:37,538 --> 00:04:39,322
OK, I've got another
turtle right around me.
101
00:04:39,453 --> 00:04:41,281
I'm trying not to get
bitten by another turtle.
102
00:04:41,411 --> 00:04:43,108
I got a turtle
underneath me right now.
103
00:04:43,239 --> 00:04:45,023
Hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on.
104
00:04:45,154 --> 00:04:46,634
Huge turtle underneath my foot.
105
00:04:46,764 --> 00:04:48,331
Huge turtle in hand.
106
00:04:48,462 --> 00:04:51,465
OK, this is definitely,
definitely a dangerous scenario
107
00:04:51,595 --> 00:04:52,379
right here.
108
00:04:52,509 --> 00:04:53,467
Got him!
109
00:04:53,597 --> 00:04:54,424
I see that.
110
00:04:54,555 --> 00:04:55,512
Or one!
111
00:04:55,643 --> 00:04:57,297
And there goes my boat.
112
00:04:57,427 --> 00:04:58,950
Not good.
113
00:04:59,081 --> 00:05:02,432
I have another huge turtle
underneath my foot as well.
114
00:05:02,563 --> 00:05:04,478
Double dragon scenario here.
115
00:05:04,608 --> 00:05:05,522
Part two.
116
00:05:05,653 --> 00:05:06,523
Hold on.
117
00:05:12,224 --> 00:05:13,138
Oh!
118
00:05:16,054 --> 00:05:17,752
Ow!
119
00:05:17,882 --> 00:05:20,450
Took a bite, took a bite!
120
00:05:20,581 --> 00:05:21,625
Bad bite.
121
00:05:21,756 --> 00:05:22,583
Wrong end of the turtle.
122
00:05:22,713 --> 00:05:23,584
Hold on.
123
00:05:27,457 --> 00:05:29,546
All right, gonna
need some assistance!
124
00:05:29,677 --> 00:05:30,721
We'll go around.
125
00:05:30,852 --> 00:05:31,679
Ah!
126
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:38,555
Shoot.
127
00:05:38,686 --> 00:05:39,904
I really want to get
this turtle, too.
128
00:05:40,035 --> 00:05:41,558
All right, I'm
abandoning that turtle
129
00:05:41,689 --> 00:05:43,952
and we're going
in towards shore.
130
00:05:44,082 --> 00:05:47,564
You got to know when
you've gone far enough.
131
00:05:47,695 --> 00:05:48,652
OK.
132
00:05:48,783 --> 00:05:51,525
You all right?
133
00:05:51,655 --> 00:05:52,613
Wow!
134
00:05:52,743 --> 00:05:54,571
That is a giant right there.
135
00:05:54,702 --> 00:05:58,619
Man, I got a lot of blood
coming out of my hand right now.
136
00:05:58,749 --> 00:06:00,360
Turtle took off the
top of my finger.
137
00:06:00,490 --> 00:06:02,100
Most dangerous thing
you can ever do
138
00:06:02,231 --> 00:06:04,799
is reach your finger down
into the water after a turtle.
139
00:06:04,929 --> 00:06:06,540
All right, this is going
to need some first-aid.
140
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:11,066
We're going bring this turtle
around and get him up close.
141
00:06:11,196 --> 00:06:12,241
We got ourselves-- ah--
142
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:13,416
a giant here.
- You all right?
143
00:06:13,547 --> 00:06:14,983
Yeah, I'm good,
I'm good, I'm good.
144
00:06:15,113 --> 00:06:16,288
That's a big turtle.
145
00:06:16,419 --> 00:06:18,552
Unfortunately, it
is not Stump Beak.
146
00:06:18,682 --> 00:06:19,901
It's just another
one of the giants
147
00:06:20,031 --> 00:06:20,989
that lives here at Ashton Pond.
148
00:06:21,119 --> 00:06:22,730
Oh, boy.
149
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:23,905
That may have
been Stump Beak underwater.
150
00:06:24,035 --> 00:06:25,472
I reached down,
tried to get myself
151
00:06:25,602 --> 00:06:28,170
into a double dragon
scenario, and it
152
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:29,563
took the top of my finger off.
153
00:06:29,693 --> 00:06:33,610
As you can see, it is
just the tip hanging on.
154
00:06:33,741 --> 00:06:34,611
OK, let's get up there.
155
00:06:34,742 --> 00:06:35,917
Let's get my finger wrapped.
156
00:06:36,047 --> 00:06:37,048
And let's get the
rest of this scene.
157
00:06:37,179 --> 00:06:37,962
Woo!
158
00:06:38,093 --> 00:06:39,224
Man, I lost my boat.
159
00:06:42,924 --> 00:06:44,186
Ooh.
160
00:06:44,316 --> 00:06:46,188
Well, I literally
jumped into the middle
161
00:06:46,318 --> 00:06:47,755
of a snapping turtle fight.
162
00:06:47,885 --> 00:06:49,887
Two giants battling it out.
163
00:06:50,018 --> 00:06:52,281
I didn't realize there were
two there until I was up on top
164
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:53,804
of the log and jumped in.
165
00:06:53,935 --> 00:06:55,632
And this was the first
one I could grab.
166
00:06:55,763 --> 00:06:58,592
And I thought, OK, well, I've
got to get this turtle at least
167
00:06:58,722 --> 00:07:00,245
away from my leg,
so I reached down,
168
00:07:00,376 --> 00:07:03,248
hoping to feel for the
top of the carapace,
169
00:07:03,379 --> 00:07:06,774
and unfortunately my finger
went down just off the side.
170
00:07:06,904 --> 00:07:11,822
It turned its head and got
my whole finger in its mouth.
171
00:07:11,953 --> 00:07:15,304
It's probably worse than it
looks or maybe not as bad
172
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:16,218
as it looks.
173
00:07:16,348 --> 00:07:17,741
I don't know which.
174
00:07:17,872 --> 00:07:19,134
But when I looked at it,
when it initially came up,
175
00:07:19,264 --> 00:07:21,658
the whole side of my
finger is chomped off.
176
00:07:21,789 --> 00:07:23,530
You could see the blood
coagulating there.
177
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:27,795
And this is exactly why we need
to respect snapping turtles
178
00:07:27,925 --> 00:07:30,145
from a safe distance, guys.
179
00:07:30,275 --> 00:07:33,365
Well, before I weigh
the turtle, first, I
180
00:07:33,496 --> 00:07:34,628
have to tend to my finger.
181
00:07:34,758 --> 00:07:36,020
I'm going to actually
cover him up.
182
00:07:36,151 --> 00:07:37,805
And to do that, I'm
going to get this turtle
183
00:07:37,935 --> 00:07:43,027
weight bag wet just to keep him
nice and cool here in the sun.
184
00:07:43,158 --> 00:07:44,768
He will be fine.
185
00:07:44,899 --> 00:07:48,293
But this will also keep him
calm and locked in position.
186
00:07:48,424 --> 00:07:49,207
You see that?
187
00:07:49,338 --> 00:07:50,078
Turtle under bag.
188
00:07:50,208 --> 00:07:51,688
He's going to stay put.
189
00:07:51,819 --> 00:07:56,345
OK, I'm going to apply
first-aid to my own finger.
190
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:58,129
And what I have here
is a bottle of water,
191
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:01,393
some gauze, a compression
bandage, a Band-Aid,
192
00:08:01,524 --> 00:08:03,047
and a simple pocketknife.
193
00:08:03,178 --> 00:08:06,616
What I want to do
is just temporarily
194
00:08:06,747 --> 00:08:08,879
get pressure on this,
stop the bleeding
195
00:08:09,010 --> 00:08:10,228
so that we can finish
the presentation
196
00:08:10,359 --> 00:08:12,013
and get the weight
of this turtle.
197
00:08:12,143 --> 00:08:14,145
Like I said, I have not caught
this turtle before, so getting
198
00:08:14,276 --> 00:08:16,496
its weight is very important.
199
00:08:16,626 --> 00:08:20,195
All right, makeshift
blood clot right there.
200
00:08:20,325 --> 00:08:24,199
And now, we can continue on with
the presentation of this scene.
201
00:08:24,329 --> 00:08:26,810
And I think this is probably
a very good point in time
202
00:08:26,941 --> 00:08:29,770
to note that snapping turtles,
even for somebody like me
203
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:31,598
who is a professional
and who's handled
204
00:08:31,728 --> 00:08:35,166
hundreds of these turtles, can
occasionally get a bite on you.
205
00:08:35,297 --> 00:08:36,907
And I'm very lucky
that the turtle
206
00:08:37,038 --> 00:08:40,476
did not hold on to my finger
or get more of it than it did.
207
00:08:40,607 --> 00:08:42,696
A few stitches will
fix that right up.
208
00:08:42,826 --> 00:08:45,525
But right now, let's take
a look at this giant.
209
00:08:45,655 --> 00:08:47,091
Oh, hey, buddy.
210
00:08:47,222 --> 00:08:48,963
Oh, now he's got the turtle
weigh bag in his mouth.
211
00:08:49,093 --> 00:08:50,268
We need that back.
Come on.
212
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:51,226
Here.
213
00:08:51,356 --> 00:08:52,053
I'm going to pick him up.
214
00:08:52,183 --> 00:08:52,967
There we go.
215
00:08:53,097 --> 00:08:53,924
Hi, buddy.
216
00:08:54,055 --> 00:08:55,447
Look at you.
217
00:08:55,578 --> 00:08:58,320
That is about as
perfect as it gets
218
00:08:58,450 --> 00:09:01,062
for a common snapping
turtle specimen.
219
00:09:01,192 --> 00:09:05,806
Now, this is not Stump Beak, but
it is very similar in design.
220
00:09:05,936 --> 00:09:08,243
The carapace, which, as we
know, is the top of the shell,
221
00:09:08,373 --> 00:09:11,028
looks almost identical
to Stump Beak's shell.
222
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:13,640
Now, when I went back there,
there was another turtle
223
00:09:13,770 --> 00:09:16,033
and it may have been Stump
Beak that bit my finger.
224
00:09:16,164 --> 00:09:19,776
But this one is equally
as handsome looking
225
00:09:19,907 --> 00:09:21,386
and certainly as healthy.
226
00:09:21,517 --> 00:09:24,389
This is not a 60-pound
turtle, but I'm guessing it is
227
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,478
probably somewhere close to 50.
228
00:09:26,609 --> 00:09:28,132
And like I said, this
is a turtle that we
229
00:09:28,263 --> 00:09:30,308
do not yet have on record here.
230
00:09:30,439 --> 00:09:32,136
But let's take a look
at this creature's tail.
231
00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:34,574
Let me turn it around
for you here like this.
232
00:09:34,704 --> 00:09:35,966
Can you see it?
Yep.
233
00:09:36,097 --> 00:09:37,577
Go
ahead and zoom in there.
234
00:09:37,707 --> 00:09:40,536
A true dragon tail
on this reptile.
235
00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:42,799
Let me see if I can bend it
down a little bit for you there.
236
00:09:42,930 --> 00:09:44,409
Wow.
237
00:09:44,540 --> 00:09:46,194
Quite the beast.
238
00:09:46,324 --> 00:09:48,065
I'll tell you what, it's a lot
harder to handle a turtle too
239
00:09:48,196 --> 00:09:49,806
when you're missing
the tip of your finger.
240
00:09:49,937 --> 00:09:51,503
And I'm trying to
be really, really
241
00:09:51,634 --> 00:09:55,290
careful right now so that I
am not bitten a second time.
242
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:57,553
But look at those front limbs.
243
00:09:57,684 --> 00:09:59,555
He is massive!
244
00:09:59,686 --> 00:10:02,471
Huge claws, all in
perfect condition.
245
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:03,777
Perfect beak.
246
00:10:03,907 --> 00:10:05,517
Eyes fully intact.
247
00:10:05,648 --> 00:10:07,476
You guys want to see what
his plastron looks like?
248
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:09,260
Here, let me lift it
up for you to see just
249
00:10:09,391 --> 00:10:10,827
how healthy this turtle is.
250
00:10:10,958 --> 00:10:12,568
Look at its underside there.
251
00:10:12,699 --> 00:10:15,963
That is an absolute giant.
252
00:10:16,093 --> 00:10:18,182
And as we know, turtles
and their relatives
253
00:10:18,313 --> 00:10:21,359
have been on the planet
for over 200 million years.
254
00:10:21,490 --> 00:10:24,319
And you can certainly see
the prehistoric nature
255
00:10:24,449 --> 00:10:25,581
in this creature.
256
00:10:25,712 --> 00:10:27,191
Hi, buddy.
257
00:10:27,322 --> 00:10:28,845
I know, you would love to
get my nose in your mouth.
258
00:10:28,976 --> 00:10:31,239
We're going to try to
avoid that today, OK?
259
00:10:31,369 --> 00:10:32,632
All right, next
thing I want to do
260
00:10:32,762 --> 00:10:34,546
is get the weight
of this turtle so we
261
00:10:34,677 --> 00:10:36,287
officially have it on record.
262
00:10:36,418 --> 00:10:39,682
And to do that, I'm going to
set him down very gently here.
263
00:10:39,813 --> 00:10:41,641
Hold on just a
second there, buddy.
264
00:10:41,771 --> 00:10:43,033
OK.
265
00:10:43,164 --> 00:10:46,297
I do have my trusty
turtle scale with me.
266
00:10:46,428 --> 00:10:48,604
Now, this goes up to
50 pounds in weight.
267
00:10:48,735 --> 00:10:51,172
I do not believe that this
turtle is over 50 pounds,
268
00:10:51,302 --> 00:10:53,435
but I am guessing
that he is close.
269
00:10:53,565 --> 00:10:54,654
You see that?
270
00:10:54,784 --> 00:10:57,091
If we hit 50 pounds,
it's considered
271
00:10:57,221 --> 00:10:59,310
a true swamp monster.
272
00:10:59,441 --> 00:11:02,444
I also have my turtle
weigh bag here with me.
273
00:11:02,574 --> 00:11:04,359
And to do this--
274
00:11:04,489 --> 00:11:05,273
nuh-uh.
275
00:11:05,403 --> 00:11:07,710
You stay.
276
00:11:07,841 --> 00:11:09,625
Sometimes they listen to me.
277
00:11:09,756 --> 00:11:12,933
OK, I'm going to gently place
him down inside of the bag,
278
00:11:13,063 --> 00:11:14,630
then we're going
to hoist him up.
279
00:11:14,761 --> 00:11:16,371
This is going to cause no
harm to the turtle whatsoever.
280
00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:19,330
And actually, inside the bag,
he will be a little more calm.
281
00:11:19,461 --> 00:11:22,551
Just like crocodilians, when
you keep their eyes covered--
282
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:23,683
don't you bite the bag--
283
00:11:23,813 --> 00:11:24,727
Watch your fingers.
284
00:11:24,858 --> 00:11:26,816
- they oftentimes stay calm.
285
00:11:26,947 --> 00:11:28,818
And this is tricky because
once he's in the bag then,
286
00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:30,341
of course, you don't
know where the head is,
287
00:11:30,472 --> 00:11:32,735
and things can get dangerous.
288
00:11:32,866 --> 00:11:34,911
OK, turtle is in the bag.
289
00:11:35,042 --> 00:11:36,347
Head is right there.
290
00:11:36,478 --> 00:11:38,436
Now, he can still
bite through the bag,
291
00:11:38,567 --> 00:11:41,918
so we have to be
extremely careful.
292
00:11:42,049 --> 00:11:43,877
I'm going to bring
the turtle up,
293
00:11:44,007 --> 00:11:45,922
and then I'm going to get
the position of the weight.
294
00:11:46,053 --> 00:11:46,836
Are you good?
295
00:11:46,967 --> 00:11:47,837
Mhm.
296
00:11:47,968 --> 00:11:52,189
One, two, three.
297
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,625
Is it maxing it?
298
00:11:53,756 --> 00:11:55,105
Nope.
299
00:11:55,236 --> 00:11:58,021
OK, right there.
300
00:11:58,152 --> 00:12:00,676
34 pounds is what
he clocks in at.
301
00:12:00,807 --> 00:12:04,854
I knew he was under 50, but
that is still a really, really
302
00:12:04,985 --> 00:12:07,074
good sized snapping turtle.
303
00:12:07,204 --> 00:12:09,554
All right, now the tricky
part, getting him back out
304
00:12:09,685 --> 00:12:10,555
of the bag.
305
00:12:10,686 --> 00:12:12,383
OK, the head's on that side.
306
00:12:12,514 --> 00:12:13,602
All right, come on, buddy.
307
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:14,646
Out you go.
308
00:12:17,345 --> 00:12:19,216
All right.
309
00:12:19,347 --> 00:12:20,609
I know.
310
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,698
Don't bite the bag,
don't bite the bag.
311
00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:23,655
OK.
312
00:12:23,786 --> 00:12:25,135
Whoa, what a big boy!
313
00:12:25,266 --> 00:12:26,223
There he is.
314
00:12:26,354 --> 00:12:27,572
Woo!
315
00:12:27,703 --> 00:12:29,357
Tell you what, even
at 34 pounds that
316
00:12:29,487 --> 00:12:31,011
is a lot to handle right there.
317
00:12:31,141 --> 00:12:32,664
So what
are you going to name him?
318
00:12:32,795 --> 00:12:34,014
Well, since it's
a new catch, I think
319
00:12:34,144 --> 00:12:35,929
we should call him Big Chomper.
320
00:12:36,059 --> 00:12:37,104
How about that?
Yeah.
321
00:12:37,234 --> 00:12:38,714
Awesome.
322
00:12:38,845 --> 00:12:40,150
Remember, guys, we're still
looking for that world
323
00:12:40,281 --> 00:12:41,499
record size snapping turtle.
324
00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:43,197
So write in the
comment section below.
325
00:12:43,327 --> 00:12:44,981
Send us pictures
on social media.
326
00:12:46,113 --> 00:12:47,505
I hear you hissing.
327
00:12:47,636 --> 00:12:49,333
Show us the pictures of
the turtles you have seen.
328
00:12:49,464 --> 00:12:51,466
And if it looks like something
that could be a world record,
329
00:12:51,596 --> 00:12:53,903
we may show up in your
city, in your backyard,
330
00:12:54,034 --> 00:12:57,385
in your pond to try to land a
world record snapping turtle.
331
00:12:57,515 --> 00:12:58,821
I'm Coyote Peterson.
332
00:12:58,952 --> 00:13:00,692
Be brave.
333
00:13:00,823 --> 00:13:02,085
Stay wild.
334
00:13:02,216 --> 00:13:03,739
We'll see you on
the next adventure.
335
00:13:08,178 --> 00:13:11,312
It is officially my favorite
day of the year, the first day
336
00:13:11,442 --> 00:13:14,358
where it's warm enough to go out
and look for snapping turtles.
337
00:13:14,489 --> 00:13:16,273
Today, I'm in
Columbus, Ohio, filming
338
00:13:16,404 --> 00:13:18,014
at Blendon Woods
Metro Park, where
339
00:13:18,145 --> 00:13:20,277
through the largest turtles
on record in the United States
340
00:13:20,408 --> 00:13:21,975
all exist.
341
00:13:22,105 --> 00:13:23,933
These dragons are out moving
about right now, battling
342
00:13:24,064 --> 00:13:25,500
with each other for
territory, getting
343
00:13:25,630 --> 00:13:26,980
ready for breeding season.
344
00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:28,590
What we're going to do
is head out in the water
345
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,158
and see if we can catch the
first turtle of the year.
346
00:13:31,288 --> 00:13:32,028
There we go!
347
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:32,942
Coming up!
348
00:13:33,073 --> 00:13:34,378
Stay tuned, guys.
349
00:13:34,509 --> 00:13:38,121
"Dragon Tails" season
three is about to begin.
350
00:13:38,252 --> 00:13:40,776
That is the common
snapping turtle.
351
00:13:40,907 --> 00:13:41,646
I got it!
352
00:13:41,777 --> 00:13:42,996
It's a big turtle!
353
00:13:43,126 --> 00:13:45,563
And he is about the
size of a dinosaur.
354
00:13:48,044 --> 00:13:49,698
Mario and I are actually
going to head out in the water
355
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:52,005
together today using GoPros.
356
00:13:52,135 --> 00:13:54,311
It's really windy, so it's
a bit dangerous out there.
357
00:13:54,442 --> 00:13:56,270
But with any luck, we're
going to catch a turtle.
358
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,358
- Let's do it!
- You ready?
359
00:13:57,488 --> 00:13:58,272
I'm ready.
360
00:13:58,402 --> 00:14:00,578
Let's do it!
361
00:14:00,709 --> 00:14:03,538
If you thought just catching
turtles was dangerous,
362
00:14:03,668 --> 00:14:07,324
catching turtles with wavy
water and the wind will
363
00:14:07,455 --> 00:14:08,804
take you right off the kayak.
364
00:14:08,935 --> 00:14:10,110
And that's the last
thing you want to happen.
365
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,808
So hopefully we get
some epic shots.
366
00:14:12,939 --> 00:14:15,158
A turtle catch is
still a turtle catch.
367
00:14:15,289 --> 00:14:17,769
When dragon season is
here, you do whatever
368
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:21,034
it takes to get the episode.
369
00:14:21,164 --> 00:14:23,297
Working under
special permits, I've
370
00:14:23,427 --> 00:14:25,168
been researching this
park's snapping turtle
371
00:14:25,299 --> 00:14:27,692
population for nearly a decade.
372
00:14:27,823 --> 00:14:30,434
And it's always the first
place I go every spring,
373
00:14:30,565 --> 00:14:35,962
as the turtles begin to
activate after hibernation.
374
00:14:36,092 --> 00:14:37,311
My oar's all cleaned off.
375
00:14:37,441 --> 00:14:39,226
And you may notice
that I have these two
376
00:14:39,356 --> 00:14:41,010
big squishy masses here.
377
00:14:41,141 --> 00:14:42,620
That's not for grip, guys.
378
00:14:42,751 --> 00:14:45,101
That's actually to protect
myself against the turtles
379
00:14:45,232 --> 00:14:46,276
once they're in the boat.
380
00:14:46,407 --> 00:14:47,930
As you can see,
there are already
381
00:14:48,061 --> 00:14:49,627
some bite marks in there.
382
00:14:49,758 --> 00:14:51,934
And many a times once I've
gotten a dragon into the boat,
383
00:14:52,065 --> 00:14:53,153
it will try to attack me.
384
00:14:53,283 --> 00:14:55,329
I have to put that in front.
385
00:14:55,459 --> 00:14:56,678
It latches on.
386
00:14:56,808 --> 00:14:58,506
Trust me, the last
thing you want to happen
387
00:14:58,636 --> 00:15:00,508
is for you to spill out
of a kayak and a turtle
388
00:15:00,638 --> 00:15:02,249
to end up on top of you.
389
00:15:02,379 --> 00:15:04,425
OK, well, if you guys are set,
let's head out in the water
390
00:15:04,555 --> 00:15:08,037
and catch the first snapping
turtle of the season.
391
00:15:08,168 --> 00:15:10,866
The months of April and
May are the absolute best
392
00:15:10,997 --> 00:15:12,694
time to find snapping turtles.
393
00:15:12,824 --> 00:15:15,218
The water is free of plant
life, and the dragons
394
00:15:15,349 --> 00:15:17,133
are drawn to the
shallows, where they will
395
00:15:17,264 --> 00:15:19,092
battle for breeding territory.
396
00:15:19,222 --> 00:15:21,485
All right, we're getting
into the shallows now.
397
00:15:21,616 --> 00:15:25,750
And I need to get in position
for catching turtles.
398
00:15:25,881 --> 00:15:28,275
Here we go.
399
00:15:28,405 --> 00:15:31,495
Whoa, that wind is really
driving me forward quick.
400
00:15:31,626 --> 00:15:32,844
Wait a second.
I got something over here.
401
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:33,758
What's that?
402
00:15:35,195 --> 00:15:36,152
All right, we've got
geese on the move.
403
00:15:36,283 --> 00:15:37,110
That's good.
404
00:15:39,895 --> 00:15:40,809
I got some movement.
405
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:43,507
I've got some movement up here!
406
00:15:43,638 --> 00:15:45,466
Turtle, turtle, turtle, turtle!
407
00:15:45,596 --> 00:15:47,076
Got a turtle.
408
00:15:47,207 --> 00:15:48,512
It's making a move.
409
00:15:48,643 --> 00:15:50,340
Up here off the left side.
410
00:15:50,471 --> 00:15:52,560
Could be a turtle unearthing.
411
00:15:52,690 --> 00:15:54,214
Ooh, big bubbles coming up.
412
00:15:58,131 --> 00:15:59,436
What's up with that?
413
00:15:59,567 --> 00:16:00,872
Do you see all these
bubbles coming up?
414
00:16:01,003 --> 00:16:02,439
Yep.
415
00:16:02,570 --> 00:16:03,745
All right, I'm going to
get in, I'm going to get in.
416
00:16:07,705 --> 00:16:08,489
Oh, I got a turtle.
417
00:16:08,619 --> 00:16:09,533
It's a turtle.
418
00:16:09,664 --> 00:16:10,491
Turtle.
419
00:16:10,621 --> 00:16:11,796
Oh man, it's deep.
420
00:16:11,927 --> 00:16:13,885
Hold on.
421
00:16:14,016 --> 00:16:15,713
Oh man, this is not the
situation we want to be in.
422
00:16:15,844 --> 00:16:17,846
Hold on a second.
423
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:19,543
I've got to find its head.
424
00:16:19,674 --> 00:16:21,893
All right, I got the
back of his shell.
425
00:16:22,024 --> 00:16:23,634
Back of the shell coming up.
426
00:16:23,765 --> 00:16:24,722
OK, I got a hold on him.
427
00:16:24,853 --> 00:16:25,593
I got a hold on him.
428
00:16:25,723 --> 00:16:27,203
Hold on.
429
00:16:27,334 --> 00:16:29,118
What I don't want to happen
is for me to get bitten.
430
00:16:29,249 --> 00:16:30,380
All right, he's
trying to bury down.
431
00:16:30,511 --> 00:16:31,251
I got him!
432
00:16:31,381 --> 00:16:33,818
Hold on!
433
00:16:33,949 --> 00:16:34,819
Oh, man.
434
00:16:34,950 --> 00:16:35,995
Hold on.
435
00:16:36,125 --> 00:16:36,996
I can't tell which
side is which.
436
00:16:37,126 --> 00:16:37,866
Here we go!
437
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:39,172
Coming up!
438
00:16:39,302 --> 00:16:40,912
Look at that.
439
00:16:41,043 --> 00:16:42,044
Just a little guy, but that's
the first turtle of the year
440
00:16:42,175 --> 00:16:43,219
right there.
441
00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:45,047
Oh, I see you!
442
00:16:45,178 --> 00:16:47,658
Just waking up for the year.
443
00:16:47,789 --> 00:16:51,227
And that's actually one of
our little resident females.
444
00:16:51,358 --> 00:16:54,143
Not exactly a giant, but really
important that we see that the
445
00:16:54,274 --> 00:16:55,057
females--
446
00:16:55,188 --> 00:16:56,711
I know you just woke up.
447
00:16:56,841 --> 00:16:59,322
She probably just was
unearthing from the mud.
448
00:16:59,453 --> 00:17:01,759
I could see the bubbles coming
up from beneath the surface.
449
00:17:01,890 --> 00:17:04,675
And there you have it, the
emergence of the first mud
450
00:17:04,806 --> 00:17:05,981
dragon of the year.
451
00:17:06,112 --> 00:17:06,851
All right.
452
00:17:06,982 --> 00:17:08,201
I know, I know.
453
00:17:08,331 --> 00:17:09,811
We're looking for
something a lot bigger.
454
00:17:09,941 --> 00:17:12,205
We're going to place you
back down into the water, OK?
455
00:17:12,335 --> 00:17:13,728
And then we're going to
see if we can find one
456
00:17:13,858 --> 00:17:15,121
of the big guys that's
going to be looking
457
00:17:15,251 --> 00:17:16,426
for you during breeding season.
458
00:17:16,557 --> 00:17:17,732
Sound good?
459
00:17:17,862 --> 00:17:19,429
Don't get your nose
that close, right?
460
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,909
Yeah!
461
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,824
All right, first turtle
of the year right there.
462
00:17:22,954 --> 00:17:24,043
Awesome.
463
00:17:24,173 --> 00:17:24,913
All right, I'm going
to set it down.
464
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:27,568
Ready?
465
00:17:27,698 --> 00:17:29,570
See you later, little girl.
466
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:32,355
All right.
467
00:17:32,486 --> 00:17:34,836
Almost immediately after
releasing my first catch
468
00:17:34,966 --> 00:17:37,708
of the year, one of the
big boys was spotted
469
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:39,710
hunkering down next to a log.
470
00:17:39,841 --> 00:17:42,974
If I could bring him up, our
second dragon of the season
471
00:17:43,105 --> 00:17:45,194
would officially be revealed.
472
00:17:45,325 --> 00:17:47,501
Yet, little did I
know what seemed
473
00:17:47,631 --> 00:17:52,897
like a simple catch was about to
take a turn for the dangerous.
474
00:17:53,028 --> 00:17:54,377
That looks like Hubert.
475
00:17:54,508 --> 00:17:56,249
Hi, buddy.
476
00:17:56,379 --> 00:17:59,121
He's not going to be
any happy about this.
477
00:17:59,252 --> 00:18:00,601
Hi, buddy.
478
00:18:00,731 --> 00:18:02,820
Just hunker down.
479
00:18:02,951 --> 00:18:03,995
There you are.
480
00:18:04,126 --> 00:18:05,258
Oh boy, he's not
going to be happy.
481
00:18:05,388 --> 00:18:06,868
Hi, big guy.
482
00:18:06,998 --> 00:18:08,478
How are you?
483
00:18:08,609 --> 00:18:10,959
Fourth largest snapping turtle
that calls Blendon Woods
484
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,179
home is this one right here.
485
00:18:13,309 --> 00:18:17,531
That is Hubert, a good size
common snapping turtle.
486
00:18:17,661 --> 00:18:18,445
Oh!
487
00:18:18,575 --> 00:18:19,359
Ah!
488
00:18:19,489 --> 00:18:20,447
Those claws.
489
00:18:20,577 --> 00:18:21,404
Oh, buddy.
490
00:18:21,535 --> 00:18:22,405
Good to see you.
491
00:18:22,536 --> 00:18:24,581
Oh, he is good and healthy.
492
00:18:24,712 --> 00:18:26,322
That is one strong
turtle right there.
493
00:18:26,453 --> 00:18:27,758
Let's see.
494
00:18:27,889 --> 00:18:30,761
Claws all intact, which
is a good thing to see.
495
00:18:30,892 --> 00:18:33,764
Just hunkered down right
up against that tree.
496
00:18:33,895 --> 00:18:35,418
Look at his carapace.
497
00:18:35,549 --> 00:18:37,986
That is a beast of a
turtle right there.
498
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:40,119
OK, let's take him
back into shore
499
00:18:40,249 --> 00:18:41,337
and get some up close shots.
500
00:18:41,468 --> 00:18:43,122
Oh, man.
- Yes!
501
00:18:43,252 --> 00:18:44,514
Looks like we've
got another turtle on the move.
502
00:18:44,645 --> 00:18:45,907
Really?
Where?
503
00:18:46,037 --> 00:18:46,560
Right there.
Don't you see those bubbles?
504
00:18:46,690 --> 00:18:48,083
Or is that you?
505
00:18:48,214 --> 00:18:48,736
Oh yeah, we've got
something else right there.
506
00:18:48,866 --> 00:18:50,172
You're right.
507
00:18:50,303 --> 00:18:51,521
That is a turtle, coming
right out from here.
508
00:18:51,652 --> 00:18:53,175
OK, let's see if we can
get a double dragon.
509
00:18:53,306 --> 00:18:53,958
There he is, there he is.
You see him?
510
00:18:54,089 --> 00:18:54,872
It's moving.
511
00:18:55,003 --> 00:18:55,873
Yep.
512
00:18:56,004 --> 00:18:56,874
Hold tight, hold tight.
513
00:19:03,185 --> 00:19:04,578
Oh!
Oh, that's big one too.
514
00:19:04,708 --> 00:19:05,666
That's a big
turtle right there.
515
00:19:05,796 --> 00:19:07,015
Hold on.
516
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:07,929
I definitely don't
want them to fight.
517
00:19:08,059 --> 00:19:10,410
Can you handle them both?
518
00:19:10,540 --> 00:19:11,411
Oh yeah, that's a big turtle.
519
00:19:11,541 --> 00:19:13,761
Hold on.
520
00:19:13,891 --> 00:19:16,372
All right, guys, double
dragon scenario right here.
521
00:19:16,503 --> 00:19:18,069
Wow, OK.
522
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,552
Two very good sized common
snapping turtles, both in hand.
523
00:19:22,683 --> 00:19:23,727
Look at that.
524
00:19:23,858 --> 00:19:25,555
Two giants.
525
00:19:25,686 --> 00:19:28,863
Man, it's going to be
impossible to look at them both.
526
00:19:28,993 --> 00:19:29,733
Ooh, ooh!
527
00:19:29,864 --> 00:19:30,821
Hold on.
528
00:19:30,952 --> 00:19:32,127
I'm losing control of this one.
529
00:19:32,258 --> 00:19:33,520
No, no, no, no, no!
530
00:19:33,650 --> 00:19:34,912
Hold on.
531
00:19:35,043 --> 00:19:36,392
I'm getting tangled
up in the rope here.
532
00:19:36,523 --> 00:19:37,698
Hold on.
I'm going to put Hubert--
533
00:19:37,828 --> 00:19:39,047
What
do you want to do?
534
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:40,788
I'm going to put
Hubert inside this boat
535
00:19:40,918 --> 00:19:42,616
and spin him around like that.
536
00:19:42,746 --> 00:19:45,314
Can I help you?
537
00:19:45,445 --> 00:19:47,011
This is the sort
of scenario where
538
00:19:47,142 --> 00:19:48,796
you accidentally take a bite.
539
00:19:48,926 --> 00:19:49,710
Woo!
540
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,364
Man.
541
00:19:51,494 --> 00:19:55,150
OK, double dragon is what
we call that right there.
542
00:19:55,281 --> 00:19:58,197
Two very healthy common
snapping turtles.
543
00:19:58,327 --> 00:20:01,461
How's that for some
dragon tales action?
544
00:20:01,591 --> 00:20:03,289
Wow!
545
00:20:03,419 --> 00:20:06,640
OK, this is going to be a bit
of a risky scenario right here.
546
00:20:06,770 --> 00:20:08,729
Man, how do you feel
about rolling back
547
00:20:08,859 --> 00:20:09,947
with a turtle in your kayak?
548
00:20:10,078 --> 00:20:11,079
Yeah, put one in mine.
That's fine.
549
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,428
OK.
550
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:14,125
This guy's going to
be very aggressive.
551
00:20:14,256 --> 00:20:16,258
Here, I'm going to face
him forward like this
552
00:20:16,389 --> 00:20:17,999
so that hopefully he stays put.
553
00:20:18,129 --> 00:20:21,394
If you just kind of position
your hand like that-- hold on.
554
00:20:21,524 --> 00:20:22,612
I don't want him to get my arm.
555
00:20:22,743 --> 00:20:23,570
Yep.
556
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:24,745
You got him?
557
00:20:24,875 --> 00:20:25,615
He'll calm down
in just a second.
558
00:20:25,746 --> 00:20:26,573
There you go.
559
00:20:26,703 --> 00:20:28,096
Keep him locked in place.
560
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:29,619
That is an aggressive
turtle right there.
561
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:30,577
You got him?
- Yep.
562
00:20:30,707 --> 00:20:31,534
Keep a hold on him.
563
00:20:31,665 --> 00:20:32,796
All right, Hubert's good.
564
00:20:32,927 --> 00:20:34,145
He's going to stay put.
565
00:20:34,276 --> 00:20:35,059
Stay, buddy.
566
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:36,496
Stay, buddy.
567
00:20:36,626 --> 00:20:38,541
You see that defensive
positioning right there?
568
00:20:38,672 --> 00:20:40,674
He's arcing full off-- watch
your arms, watch your arms.
569
00:20:40,804 --> 00:20:42,110
Hold on.
570
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:44,243
We may determine that
this is too dangerous.
571
00:20:44,373 --> 00:20:45,592
You got him?
- I got him.
572
00:20:45,722 --> 00:20:46,897
OK.
573
00:20:47,028 --> 00:20:48,508
If you you can get
him to calm down,
574
00:20:48,638 --> 00:20:51,162
that is always the
first priority.
575
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:52,468
Get the turtle calm.
There you go.
576
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:53,904
You good?
- I think so.
577
00:20:54,035 --> 00:20:55,036
OK.
578
00:20:55,166 --> 00:20:56,298
No, not yet.
579
00:20:56,429 --> 00:20:58,126
Woo!
580
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:01,303
As Mario and I rode back to
shore with dragons in our cargo
581
00:21:01,434 --> 00:21:03,958
holds, we battled
the wind and water
582
00:21:04,088 --> 00:21:08,267
while hoping to not take a bite
from those razor-sharp jaws.
583
00:21:08,397 --> 00:21:10,660
Sharing a small kayak
with a snapping turtle
584
00:21:10,791 --> 00:21:13,924
will definitely keep you
on the edge of your seat.
585
00:21:14,055 --> 00:21:16,666
Double dragon!
586
00:21:16,797 --> 00:21:18,494
We did it!
587
00:21:18,625 --> 00:21:20,540
How's that for a snapping
turtle experience?
588
00:21:20,670 --> 00:21:21,497
Double trouble.
589
00:21:21,628 --> 00:21:22,890
Oh, man!
590
00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:25,414
All right.
591
00:21:25,545 --> 00:21:27,460
OK.
592
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:30,550
All right, guys, well,
an epic conclusion here
593
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,683
to the first episode
of "Dragon Tails" 2018.
594
00:21:33,814 --> 00:21:34,554
Double dragon.
595
00:21:34,684 --> 00:21:35,468
Woo!
596
00:21:35,598 --> 00:21:36,904
Mario, that was epic.
597
00:21:37,034 --> 00:21:38,993
Now, this is the first
"Dragon Tails" adventure
598
00:21:39,123 --> 00:21:40,168
Mario's actually been on.
599
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:41,909
Yep.
600
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:44,738
We shot today because of the
warm temperature conditions.
601
00:21:44,868 --> 00:21:46,740
Honestly, springs run long
here in Ohio, hasn't it?
602
00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:48,219
It has, yeah.
603
00:21:48,350 --> 00:21:49,743
I've been waiting for
this sun to come out.
604
00:21:49,873 --> 00:21:51,266
Well, you're from Florida.
605
00:21:51,397 --> 00:21:52,223
You're used to the warmth
all year long, right?
606
00:21:52,354 --> 00:21:53,399
Yeah, yeah.
607
00:21:53,529 --> 00:21:55,009
Now, you may be
asking yourselves,
608
00:21:55,139 --> 00:21:57,403
how did you guys find two
turtles so close together?
609
00:21:57,533 --> 00:21:59,230
Well, this time of
year is what, Mario?
610
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:00,971
Breeding season.
611
00:22:01,102 --> 00:22:03,104
Breeding season, which means
that the males are fighting
612
00:22:03,234 --> 00:22:04,627
each other for territory.
613
00:22:04,758 --> 00:22:06,890
Have you guys ever seen
a snapping turtle battle?
614
00:22:07,021 --> 00:22:08,327
No?
615
00:22:08,457 --> 00:22:10,241
Do you want to see a
snapping turtle battle?
616
00:22:10,372 --> 00:22:11,895
No, we wouldn't really do that.
617
00:22:12,026 --> 00:22:14,724
But these guys will go
at it with graciousness
618
00:22:14,855 --> 00:22:18,337
in the shallows, biting and
clawing, honestly, sometimes
619
00:22:18,467 --> 00:22:21,340
trying to kill each other to
gain dominance of a territory.
620
00:22:21,470 --> 00:22:23,124
Now, do you see that with
crocodiles and alligators too?
621
00:22:23,254 --> 00:22:24,821
Yeah, definitely.
622
00:22:24,952 --> 00:22:25,909
Crocodiles, alligators, a
lot of reptiles will do that.
623
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,084
They'll battle for dominance.
624
00:22:27,215 --> 00:22:27,955
Mhm.
625
00:22:28,085 --> 00:22:29,565
Yeah.
626
00:22:29,696 --> 00:22:31,524
Well, we have two very
equally-sized turtles here,
627
00:22:31,654 --> 00:22:34,265
so I can imagine that a battle
between these two would be
628
00:22:34,396 --> 00:22:36,616
like two titans
crashing heads over
629
00:22:36,746 --> 00:22:38,487
there in the mud and the muck.
630
00:22:38,618 --> 00:22:39,923
Well, I'd say that
pretty much brings us
631
00:22:40,054 --> 00:22:41,664
to the end of this
episode of "Dragon Tails."
632
00:22:41,795 --> 00:22:42,709
But, Mario.
633
00:22:42,839 --> 00:22:43,710
Yeah?
634
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,146
You got to name this guy.
635
00:22:45,276 --> 00:22:46,060
Yoshi.
636
00:22:46,190 --> 00:22:47,627
Yoshi?
637
00:22:47,757 --> 00:22:49,237
Like Mario rode around
on a dragon called Yoshi?
638
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:50,151
Yep.
639
00:22:50,281 --> 00:22:51,500
I like it.
640
00:22:51,631 --> 00:22:53,720
OK, this turtle is
officially named Yoshi.
641
00:22:53,850 --> 00:22:56,592
And I would say that
concludes the first episode
642
00:22:56,723 --> 00:22:58,812
of "Dragon Tales" season three.
643
00:22:58,942 --> 00:23:00,988
I know you guys keep
asking for these episodes.
644
00:23:01,118 --> 00:23:03,556
And keep in mind, for us to
find a world-record sized
645
00:23:03,686 --> 00:23:05,993
common snapping turtle,
we need your help.
646
00:23:06,123 --> 00:23:07,734
Write in the comment
section below.
647
00:23:07,864 --> 00:23:10,911
Send us pictures on Instagram,
Facebook, Twitter, whatever.
648
00:23:11,041 --> 00:23:12,782
We need to see the
photographic proof, guys,
649
00:23:12,913 --> 00:23:14,305
before we shoot up
to your location
650
00:23:14,436 --> 00:23:16,133
and try to catch your monster.
651
00:23:16,264 --> 00:23:17,613
Well, want to give an outro?
652
00:23:17,744 --> 00:23:18,484
Sure.
653
00:23:18,614 --> 00:23:19,789
I'm Coyote Peterson.
654
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,747
I'm Mario Aldecoa.
655
00:23:20,877 --> 00:23:21,791
Be brave.
656
00:23:21,922 --> 00:23:23,140
Stay wild.
657
00:23:23,271 --> 00:23:24,620
We'll see you on
the next adventure.
658
00:23:24,751 --> 00:23:25,795
All right, now the tough part.
659
00:23:25,926 --> 00:23:27,231
We have to get
back in the kayaks
660
00:23:27,362 --> 00:23:28,537
and release the turtles
back off into the wild--
661
00:23:28,668 --> 00:23:29,582
Ooh, OK.
662
00:23:29,712 --> 00:23:30,539
- right where they came from.
663
00:23:30,670 --> 00:23:31,540
All right, let's do it.
664
00:23:31,671 --> 00:23:33,368
This is going to be tough.
665
00:23:33,499 --> 00:23:35,849
Catching a snapping
turtle is dangerous.
666
00:23:35,979 --> 00:23:38,460
Catching two snapping
turtles at the same time
667
00:23:38,591 --> 00:23:40,506
is borderline craziness.
668
00:23:40,636 --> 00:23:44,814
So again, I stress, admire these
reptiles from a safe distance
669
00:23:44,945 --> 00:23:48,557
and never try to catch
or interact with them.
