Being able to swim with African Cichlids and turtles in a natural setting...that's a dream right there.

[@Rknowles813]

God I wish I grew up in a backyard like that. Incredible to see how far the place has come since I first started watching YEARS ago.

This turtle was very calm during handling. He seems suitable for indoor keeping as well.

[@Parakeetwilds]

Anyone else noticed the mosquito fish or Cichlid frys where Kenan pulled out the Algae? Love how Nature is shaping this paradise!

The little turtle swimming and exploring in the pond was having the time of his life, he wasn't ready to come out. Will you be making your own little aquascape for the smaller turtles, a place for swimming and not getting wedged under anything? The narrative was relaxing and the quality is so clear. RIP to the other turtle.

The small ponds in the front yard are good for these guys

[@nd8471]

Kenan you have 1 of the most beautiful pond, it just looks natural. Even Sophias pond is great.

[@anthonyziccone2913]

The way Kenan is narrating this video reminds me of the old school Jack Hannah tv show...I’m from Chicago so when I was like 10 years old every Sunday morning on channel 11 they would play all animal stuff like fishing shows and that show Midwest outdoors and steve Irwin and of course Jack Hannah and he used to follow the animal around like this and give you a bunch of knowledge about it.So thanks kenan for bringing me back 25 years and giving me that little memory....

[@teetaylor6525]

You're commentary on the musk turtle was very educational and spoken very well. Chilled out kenan 👌

Kenan I really enjoyed that swim he was more curious than some of the others that wanted to just hide. His shell is amazing I love the designs on it. I’m so sorry about your loss as you say things happen and you take wonderful care of your animals. Take care and look forward to your next videos.

[@GermanWolf144]

Your whole place is amazing and I love your passion for your animals. I've always taken trips to south Florida for family reunions and vacations ever since I was a kid and I remember just running around trying to catch turtles, lizards, some snakes, geckos, and these funny green tree frogs that would plop on your window and serenade you at night XD. I love water features and just every time I see clear clean water I have to resist the urge to go for a swim. Would love to know about your process for starting that amazing pond truly a work of art. I love the diversity of flora and the naturalistic approach to filtering the water and the fish are beautiful. One day I hope to do something similar. Love Slinky, your tortoises, turtles, and iguanas. I also imagine you get loads of local resident species living there too and that is just awesome.

[@torquess454]

So sad, sorry for your loss man, he had a great adult life though, thankful for that 😢😢♥️ And spitting in my snorkel mask works for me! I could watch you swim with critters all day long! Love seeing all the O2 bubbles coming off the grasses too! The pond is doing so awesome!

As sad as the death of that Grandis was for you, all you have to think about is the many, many years of near wild life you gave that specimen and it was not boiled alive, or hacked to death or what ever horrible end it would have had in the meat market it was rescued from.

😢😢I'm sorry about your turtle. He had a great life with you.. I rarely feel sad for that animal or human who has passed on. I feel sadness for the family and the people left behind. The ones who leave us have just moved on to the next level and to be honest I'm actually excited to see what that is. Doesn't mean I want to hurry it up but I'm not afraid of it when it does happen either..
