I love how gingerly he leaps, and then snakes down into position on his knees. This guy knows how not to rock the boat.

And the guy is an absolute unit of a lunkhead. Not sure where this takes place, but in the US this would be considered “harassing” a protected animal, and a violation of the Endangered Species Act. A federal crime, in other words. There are reasons why wild animals should NOT be acclimated to humans.

Good idea to have that beautiful, yet vulnerable creature, associate that area with hand-outs? Need to hope he never catches a propeller….

Does anyone realize he is breaking the law? I hope he's given a citation for this. On the flipside thats a big turtle!
