Bosco was the last Caribbean pygmy sea turtle born in captivity at the zoo aquarium.
History[]
When Steve was unemployed he took Peggy and the kids to the zoo aquarium and saw how despondent Bosco looked. Even though he weighed approximately 200 pounds, he was held in a very small tank for his size. This made Steve sad as he pressed his nose against the glass and watched him.
Death[]
Later that day after talking to Peggy, Steve decides to do what has been on his mind all day but he did not have the nerve for before. Al and Marcy hear about it on the news a little later, when Steve is already in jail. Describing himself as a man of nature, he had broken into the Zoo Aquarium, stolen Bosco and released him into Lake Michigan. However, since Bosco was a saltwater turtle, he tried valiantly to crawl back out of the water only to be thrown back in by Steve, who was standing on the bank singing "Born Free". Bosco died shortly thereafter.
