100 Year Old Turtle Jumbo Dies at Delphey’s Zoo
Jumbo the common freshwater snapping turtle, believed largest in captivity, died Sunday at Delphey's Sport Store on West Patrick Street. Owners J Paul and Julien Delphey noted the 50 pound creature weakened, refused food, and was found in its winter tank. Jumbo had resided at the zoo for over 18 years, drawing hundreds of visitors weekly, until death reduced the exhibit to a raccoon pair and a bear.
