The animal weight, as I recall, 230 pounds, it was the shell was like this, just huge. The head was about basketball size and we took four of us and carefully got em outta the exhibit. ’cause they can extend their neck pretty far and easily snap off a finger if he got it caught in their jaw. So we had him on the floor in the back area. The guys in the know were trying to pry his mouth open with a broomstick just so they could hold it open and shove a fish in this mouth. And this animal is having none of this. And so this is going on for like 20 minutes. And finally my anthropomorphic sense says the animal got ticked off and he whipped his head around and snapped that broomstick in half, like it was breaking a matchstick.
