Ernie "Turtleman" Brown Jr. skyrocketed to fame with his unique antics and animal rescues on Animal Planet's "Call of the Wildman," which aired from 2011 to 2014. The show, which became the most-watched on the network in late 2011, showcased Brown's eccentric turtle-catching techniques that had initially garnered attention from a YouTube video. However, the series faced significant controversy due to allegations of fabricated animal rescues and animal welfare violations, such as capturing protected species without proper documentation and mistreatment of animals. These controversies eventually contributed to the show's cancellation and the loss of Brown's license.
Recently, Turtleman was involved in a life-threatening accident. While cutting down a tree, a limb fell approximately 50 feet, hitting him and resulting in a broken arm and other injuries. Despite the injuries, Ernie was able to update his fans from the hospital, thanking them for their support and assuring them that he was in good spirits.
Despite these hurdles, Turtleman maintains a connection with his audience. He continues to post videos of animal rescues, preserving the charisma that endeared him to fans. His perseverance and humor remain unshaken, even in the face of danger. Although his co-star, Neal "Banjo Man" James, passed away in 2019 due to natural causes, Ernie plans to return to the spotlight with future projects once he's fully recovered. Meanwhile, fans are encouraged to send their letters of support to his P.O. Box in Lebanon, Kentucky. For more updates, you can read our latest posts on meditationbro.com/blog.
