NATURE: Alligator snapping turtle on Mike Rowe’s Dirty Jobs
Here is a YouTube clip of one of my most favorite animals, the alligator snapping turtle (Macrochelys temminckii), featured on one my most favorite television shows – “Dirty Jobs.”
The alligator snapper is a much larger, less aggressive, and shyer relative of the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina). The IUCN Red List lists it as vulnerable, and it is one of the largest freshwater turtles. There is an unconfirmed report of a 400-pounder, and this species is very long-lived animal as well.

Dear Mike Rowe and, Team:
Please don’t get the wrong idea; I’m a married man for 33 years. However, it will not stop me from telling you how much I love your show, and your character is phenomenally, one of a kind. You live my life, only you’re on TV. I owned a company called Covert Electronics Inc., I think I’ve been in every shit hole you’ve been in. My company name should tell you what I am. (Formally, an electronics expert). I did all the black bag dirty jobs for the wealthiest people in the world, along with federal, state and local U.S. law enforcement goobers. Only with no restrictions, just get the job done, and don’t get caught. Yes, I was the fall guy, if the shit hit the fan, it was my head, (Plausible Deniability). I must have been good, I never was caught. I can’t talk much about it, however, this is not what this letter is about. I am dying of cancer, (obviously retired at the old age of 56), no telling how long I have. I just wanted to give credit due to you and your crew. You all have giving me great laughter, pleasure, and entertainment in my journey.
I love you all, and thank you very much,
Kenneth P. Lieberman,
