HOUSTON – A turtle named after J.J. Watt is getting notice from the former Houston Texans defensive end.
“You got this, big guy,” he wrote on Twitter, adding several turtle emojis. “Hot Turtle Summer on deck.”
You got this big guy.
Hot Turtle Summer on deck.
The turtle, who was named in honor of Watt, was the 99th alligator-snapping turtle to be captured, researched, and then released in the wild in an effort to save the ailing species in Houston’s bayous and waterways. The number gave inspiration to name the turtle in honor of the defensive end.
