*Sorry but my understanding is when turtles look like that they’re already sick. If you see a turtle like this- don’t do this!* Instead call dnr or a local rescue agency and try to pinpoint its location. Algae and stuff is able to grow on them because they cannot submerge (often called bubble butt) which prevents them from feeding right and exhausts them. Even if you remove all of the stuff (which you shouldn’t do because it causes pain for the turtle-they have nerve endings on their shells), it won’t solve the underlying issue of not being able to submerge right. You can see it in the video- a turtle would naturally submerge to run away from a scary creature at the top of the water, but the turtle can’t. It just bobs away to the best of its ability. Not trying to be a buzzkill tho I suppose I am, just trying to tell people what actually to do in this situation.

Most people don’t have a jet ski, but it’s nice to know there’s someone out there with one who also has a heart of gold 🫡

[@SaoirseVisceral]

Its okay to let these stuff on the turtle unless if its plastic or other manmade stuff or if its obviously making hurting the turtle, removing the barnacles from the shells can hurt the turtle since the shells are basically just their spine, its nature's work leave it alone.

[@willatwood]

Also, it's illegal to catch, touch and do this to a sea turtle if you're not state or federally licensed to do so. He could literally be fined a lot of money and arrested. So, to the people not doing this, keep it up.

[@Hysetzz]

He felt every bit of that

[@aestronk-hungryball]

cool, but i dont think id rather choose a struggle for life over some pain

[@Jawsomest]

"I performed life saving surgery" "But the patient feels pain" "Oh well; guess all my effort was wasted."

[@yharnamenjoyer7648]

He felt every bit of entire fucking barnacles growing out of him 💀

[@Jay-gf8tm]

You zoomers are brain dead. That was very painful for the turtle. Imagine somebody ripping out your fingernails and throwing you back not expecting any infections to develop and congratulating themselves. You do not remove things off of a turtle shell just because those things don't belong there..

[@bruhda7469]

1. What everybody has already said 2. He did it quite genially, and didn’t use a knife, like other, whic would actually really hurt

[@sarahwieland3243]

Omg, that poor little turtle! He was literally being somewhat eaten alive by everything attaching itself to him. That’s just horrible. I wonder how many turtles this happens to 😢

[@Peightonlilgymnastgamer1]

I have always tried to help animals❤ we needed more people like this

[@MattIsEverywhere]

“Past simple… Not so simple”.

[@drnefario6576]

This HURTS the turtle btw

[@aboxthatdrools]

Not all heroes wear capes, some ride jet skis.

[@rejiretugal-onal2641]

I have been into a turtle center, where they save and take care of the sea turtles cause its endangered and we got to realease them! Im happy for that guy

[@user-cv7jg8kh4f]

What a great man...saved one but ate tons..😢

[@user-up5fi4hz2v]

I love human people. Helping animals is very commendable.

[@TheGasolineDrinker]

There is a special spot in heaven for people like this 😊

[@Honey_belle.473]

Thank you for who ever saved him god bless you ❤

[@Guessaginator]

Wen the turtle was swimming away he was so cute😊

[@ItsAlayah]

Aww thank goodness he saved him. He’s so cute when he swims! ❤

[@Shilohssneakers]

We need more people that don’t ignore we need more people like that guy❤😢

[@rainyfox2]

He glueed those rocks, filmed it and tore them off, causing the tortoise unimaginable pain.

[@pengoh_]

@@rainyfox2eally? I knew that ripping off the barnacles was a very bad thing but this is even worse.

[@Virgo_wrld]

As nice and sweet as this is this actually hurts the turtle. Still nice to see ppl have the heart to do something like this tho

[@orangutanz12]

That might have hurt for the turtle though because turtles can feel through their shells but we need more people like him❤

[@user-py6zp7cd3c]

There’s no way that turtle had barnacles at such a young age the creator must’ve done something to the poor turtle

[@mattswatchingstuff6643]

I highly doubt it

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

Highly doubtful it’s staged, but the turtle is probably doomed anyway. A healthy turtle wouldn’t be floating around on the surface in broad daylight like that, and if its only issue was all the barnacles it would have dived once he was released back into the water. The fact it stayed on the surface while swimming away makes me think it is very close to dying.

[@somerandomname3124]

Could be either one, barnacles are a plague on the ocean so I don't think it would be impossible.

[@TheyAreHere2]

The moss, barnacles, and sore on the belly are all real. Barnacles can grow in a matter of days, and that turtle is at least months old. It was probably just sick and unable to clean itself.

[@goofballbiscuits3647]

Ultra dumb comment. The mineralization and sores look legit, and take time. Barnacles were the scourge of Charles Darwin. He said he hated nothing in the world as much as a barnacle because they are baffling in so many ways. Their ability to be everywhere (and biological anomalies at the time) are almost otherworldly.

[@a.k.165]

we need more of these people in the world

[@bottomfeederr]

Thank you for doing this there are still good people in this world it's just shoved under the rug most of the time i am a tree hugger and an animal lover this means alot to me

[@auzia5026]

This actually damages the turtle and causes pain. He would have been better off left alone. People need to not touch wildlife unless they are wildlife professionals.

[@thenelsonbruhs722]

This smells like one of those videos where people glue crap on turtle shells then record themselves “saving the turtle” by removing that stuff off their shell

[@WurrzagsMorkyMischeif]

Complaining people treat animals badly but then when they treat them well and help them there's always some ulterior motive, like they can't be doing something nice just because its nice

[@PonikoRoblox]

Idk man seems legit

[@Jetea136]

So heartwarming this boy is so kind

[@ekilla03]

At least he’s a champ he survived when he was a baby

[@emilytallent9677]

that water is the most beautiful color

[@F0.C.U.S]

this made my day... we need more ppl like him to help animals. he could just leave him but he dident and i love animals so this made my day

[@maxzabriskie3969]

To balance out the sweet comment section: HE DESTROYED A CRABS HOME, HE IS A MONSTER. Ah that’s better

[@SaoirseVisceral]

Nice

[@pupydragon]

awwww the turtle so cute!!!

[@marksuace373]

You sound sick Dima, i hope you get well soon 😊

[@SPG69]

It’s the little things that tell you someone is pure of heart

[@howardsamtecson5536]

Thank you for saving this turtle now. Jesus he's happy now.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂⚡️🙂

[@Rtpaz277]
