Amazing how some animals can handle pollution. I used to catch eels in the Paramatta River in Sydney when I was young, they were huge and healthy, living in water that looked like oil. I would release them as you couldn't eat them.

I love turtles but snappers are dangerous. Beware any ducks landing near him.
