This wannabe do-gooder decided to take to Snapchat to show the world that she was about to save a ‘turtle'. Looking into the camera, and holding the lil fella she says:

"For anyone who runs into a turtle, save it, don't just leave it on the road. They're so cute."

But sadly, it appears the girl doesn't know that the scaly chap she is about to save by chucking in a pond, is not a turtle, but actually an endangered gopher tortoise.

Tortoises can not swim.

She then smiles into the camera, saying, "Turtle saving is a hobby", before throwing the poor land-dwelling creature into the water.
