A snapping turtle had wedged himself in between two tracks and was now stuck.
Animals lovers that they are, these two brothers immediately jumped to this struggling turtle's aid. First, they tried prying him out of the tracks themselves — a choice most animal rescuers would sternly advise against, for fear of provoking attack.
