Gary Giles, 69, saw the reptiles in a pond at Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange, New Jersey, and he couldn't help but film their 'daily struggle'. Footage shows one turtle emerge from the water gripping the rotating log, but as he shuffles inches forward to reach the top, the log spins and throws him over the other side. People, turtles, and this was their daily struggle. 'I added the voice over just to make it interesting and to highlight that struggle.' He said he has been shocked that almost 500,000 people have liked his video since it was posted on the internet.
