It is a miracle that the critter didn't get him, because when he first tried
to pick him out of the muck, the turtle's claws scratched his hand, but he
still didn't realize what it was---almost a trip to the emergency room!

snapper turtle! K30A had warned of this

Holy turtle soup!
And that's a BIG pond!
I'm impressed that your brother found him
in all that and glad he didn't step on the
snapping end! ;-)
