Here’s what you do – you go over to Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park, somewhere near Heron Island, and start up your pig call. Soooo-weeeee! And soon you’ll see pig-nosed turtles, weighing up to 30 pounds.

Yeah, I put at least 2 rescued turtles into the lakes at GGP after saving them from turning into soup in the 80′s
Well this monster would have fed a family, that’s for sure.
Keep up the good work, Richard.
