Having witnessed Omaha "post event" myself, I must admit that there are certain similarities, especially regarding the unnerving facial expressions and muffled outcries. Your hypothesis is indeed worthy of consideration, and I will take immediate steps to get to the bottom of this issue.
Naturally, you will want to see this experiment through to the very end....I would expect nothing less from a scholarly, inquisitive individual such as yourself. And in light of the fact that my old Igloo may have already proven itself quite incapable of resisting a determined chelydra, I will require additional testing materials.
If you would be kind enough to have a new Yeti cooler drop shipped to this location, we may yet lay this issue to rest in a timely fashion. I believe a 65 quart model will suffice nicely.
I neglected to mention that for an additional, modest fee, Yeti might be persuaded to personalize the test enclosure with some full-color graphics. And since a snapper's diet consists of a goodly amount of fish, having the likeness of an ENHANCED brim on the side might provide additional stimulation.
The turtle might find it enjoyable also.
