Should I Save These Turtles

triplet turtles on a floating log did their best to not fall into the bog would they drowned if they did? Did they need a rescue? I watched one fall in, so now there are two. Twin turtles on a floating log they are being eyed by Everglade’s oldest wild hog Do I need to save them or are they having fun? Another fell in, so now there is just one. I watched for the others. Would they soon appear? Would they raise their glasses and yell out a cheer? Or should I try to run over and rescue the last turtle on that log? Before I could decide, he was snapped up by the hog.
