Chen Ying had no expertise in turtle research, and without internet access, he couldn't look anything up.
But they still knew that the grass turtle was protected by Second Nation's laws.
The otter's main source of food was fish, but in some waters, they would also hunt amphibians and birds.
Seeing how easily the otter hunted the turtle suggested that it had lived in an environment where turtles were abundant.
While the three were talking, the otter came over again; this time it dragged a fish onto the shore and started to eat.
Upon seeing the turtle in Chen Ying's hand, it happily stood up, twirled in a circle, thinking Chen Ying liked to eat this hard-shelled thing, dropped the fish, and moved to find him more turtles to eat.
Chen Ying quickly stopped it.
"Little cutie, I really don't eat this. If you're not going to eat it, how about I put them back?" he said.
