A surprise meeting with a sea turtle asking for help

Underwater ocean, amazing interaction with sea turtle which changed my life forever on how sea animals think and behave, beautiful experience.

Plot spoiler: the turtle and the conch recently met up after years of being apart and were looking for a place to eat when they saw the diver. The turtle went over to ask directions when the diver visciously knocked his buddy to the seafloor, the turtle scarpered in case he was next.....

[@Kube_Dog]

The conch and turtle have a symbiotic relationship. The turtle moves it around and the conch eats algae off the turtle's shell. IT'S A GOOD THING. The diver screwed up, because he doesn't know what's going on. It's not a cute, heroic video. It's a small fuck up by a person who misunderstood the situation.

@Dan Meek Sorry but have you ever interacted with an animal? Some of them clearly have more intelligence and empathy than certain members of homo sapien youtube commentators. Here are some more obvious examples of wild animals asking for help from humans. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHO1l2aketaZkJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJfHoGWrgbGDp6s Here are animals helping other animals.

was the snail or something digging into its shell?

It probably wasn’t. But it would have been perfectly capable of that though. They use their radula (their mouth) to drill a hole into their preferred prey, which are bivalves and other mollusks.

[@redwolfdragonkirangordondj2840]

I mean, their shells are apart of their body :p

[@horsepill2842]

Yes, how do they know we can do this? At least they see we do not have shark teeth or big claws. I believe they just know we are humans and that we can help. I dont think it is because they have seen humans before, I think they just know it intuitively.

[@juliaashcroft2906]

I think they also communicate. Maybe another sea turtle had a good past experience with a diver and spread the word or this turtle had a positive past experience. For example there’s several studies on ravens (I know different animal completely). Studies have shown that when a human rescues a raven or feeds it, it communicates this to its flock and the other ravens are nicer or will come to you looking for food as well.

[@allisonjames2923]

They know humans can do things they can’t. Probably the only other animal in the water that could would be octopuses. We totally underestimate animal intelligence, even though they prove over & over that they are extremely intelligent.

That was one of the most frickin cool things I have ever seen.

[@Oh4Chrissake]

"Ah, thanks, man. That's a load off."

[@tessjones5987]

The turtle is so communicative. So sweet. Thanks Man.

[@chrisk8187]

Wise and smart sea turtle!

[@fiskfarm]

Wow, what a great experience. 💕

[@Niojoki]

I sometimes forget the underwater world exists... awesome to get reminded how pretty it is❤️

[@terinamike]

Pretty darn cool encounter. Had many cool things happen while diving. Sea creatures are a helluva lot smarter than u think

[@karenanderson8943]

It's great to see this relationship becoming more prevalent. Humans need to learn to respect and treat animals better. Baby steps but were moving in the right direction.

[@kristinessTX]

That was so beautiful....what an amazing creature. I love how they fly under water...that tortie would wipe the hare off the map....

[@diverguy65]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CR-ou4hl]

One of the more remarkable videos I've seen on KZbin. Thank you for sharing this.

[@goldsung5710]

This is an awesome encounter!!! Amazing!!! The turtle thanked you for your help🙏🏻🥰💝

[@me1k0r86]

Yeah the turtle thanked you and all the Human species for your incredible help and also for destroying her habitat. Really, a great job, I hope you are proud!

[@charmainattwood]

I was so lucky to swim/snorkel with the turtles in Zante,Greece. They are beautiful animals and I need to go back and do it again. 💚

[@AZdirtdog]

Ya ever had an itch you just couldn’t reach

[@Cj-bw3hn]

You could just feel him asking for help Even looks back to say thank you

[@ZeXiOn26]

that sea turtle does a better job of asking humans for help than I do

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

Turtle: Dude, you'v got thumbs, please get this thing off my back!

[@TheStuport]

BOTH Turtle and Human go their separate ways thinking to themselves..."No One is gonna believe what happened to me today" !!! Outstanding post guy lloyd....Much Appreciated the share!! Cheers From Ohio

[@lizajane55555]

Guy, you have a friend for life with that turtle, thanks for sharing!

[@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530]

No, the dislikes are from people who know the story is bullshit.

@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 What's bullshit about it Hobbit boi?

[@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530]

The animal on it's back is a conch. Conches are a type of sea snail, and sea snails crawl around all over the place just like land snails do. The idea that this guy somehow saved the turtle, or that the turtle is asking for help is ridiculous. The snail would have crawled off it's back in a few minutes or maybe an hour or so. The turtle was never in the slightest danger, yet this guy tries to make himself look like some kind of hero.

Midnight Trumptrain-- It requires a backbone to have a back. You don't qualify.
