Live Action!!! Need I say more?
We love the show. Last year there was a baby squirrel trapped in our apartment hallway and my daughter decided to free it. It was big enough to survive on it's own (didn't look like a newborn) but had gotten stuck in something. So my daughter got the camera and told me she was going to free the squirrel, and she did, successfully and carefully (with thick gloves on just in case it bit, but it didn't), and the entire time she was pretending to be Turtleman catching a ferocious coyote. She kept yelling, every time the squirrel let out a little squeak. things like "oh this critcher is mad" or "he's after me Neil [Turtleman's helper]! This is one deadly varmit!", all while gently freeing this little stuck gentle squirrel, the furthest thing from a coyote or fox. But she had a blast doing it and when the squirrel scampered away to safety, she turned to the camera and crossed her arms like Turtleman does and said "Live Action". It was pretty funny stuff.
We like Turtleman's pay for his jobs, like six dollars and a pie, or twenty dollars and a hat. He seems like a good guy.
And you're wrong about the teeth. You said none of them have teeth, but I definitely counted at least 6 teeth between them on the episode we watched last night! They are a funny but endearing bunch, as you said.
