Who is Chief Brody??

Writer's picture: caseyjeanleonecaseyjeanleone

After the tragic death and loss of our beloved male alligator snapping turtle "Chum", we've been in no rush to "replace" him but as his large pond sat empty, we surely missed seeing such an immense, primitive creature in it. Since we are a rescue, we do our best to offer homes to any animals in need and sure enough, another massive male was offered to us, sooner than we expected. We named him "Chief Brody" (JAWS fans will get the name!) and opened our hearts and home to him. However, he was not in great condition and was seriously underweight. This was of course alarming for us especially after losing Chum. In this video, we take you on an adventure as we work to get him back to health! Say hello to Chief Brody and please give him a warm welcome to the GST family!
