He couldn't go around????

Whilst at the Zoo, we stopped to see the turtles. This is what we got to see. Jayden's comment - "All that room and he couldn't go around"??? I said that I didn't think he was trying to go around, that he probably wanted to um... climb over her, to which he added "Why, are they wrestling or something"? I looked around and there were a few adults smiling, just waiting to see what I was going to say next, so I said "I think they are playing a special turtle game... oh look over there, I think there are big Lizards over there, let's go see"!
