They actually stopped to listen to Kate screaming 26:21 when she realized how many new turtles Kenan just brought home. You can hear someone off camera snickering 26:24 thru their nose right afterwards.

[@talltraveler82]

So dope that all these turtles got such an incredible forever home now! I love that they get to live so close to naturalistic as possible, without being in their native ranges!

[@ryanmckay6243]

Kenan, what you do for these animals goes far beyond the call of animal conservation. The world needs passionate people like you in every goodhearted profession.

[@floridagal150]

When you released the last turtles, while the one sitting on land checking everything out, his buddy was waiting in the water with his head up saying, "C'mon in, the water's great!" They definitely have a connection.

[@alpoh]

19:34 really just confirms for me that you're the reptile Tom Hanks, and I love it. Cool new babies!

70 yrs. It literally brought tears to my eyes and put a lump in my throat. And after all those years, here they are, to live the rest of life in the care of one of the best turtle stewards on the planet. That was SO heartwarming!

[@davidvento5481]

Being familiar with the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn, NY Kenan will appreciate this. Two years ago they were cleaning / re-landscaping the large pond in the Japanese Garden at the Bklyn Botanic Garden. Because their numbers had exploded they decided to relocate 2 doz red-eared sliders and a doz soft shells across the street into the lake in Prospect Park. A short while after the release someone noticed a group of asian females catching the newly released turtles and putting them into burlap bags. Luckily the police were called and quickly arrested the offenders. Under questioning the females admitted the turtles were headed for the Chinese food markets downtown in Chinatown, NYC.

[@sarahb.6475]

You're getting great gifts for Christmas this year. First Slinky survived his encounter with the nasty cold weather and now you got new turtles! 🐊🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 And somebody needs to make a water monitor emoji!

So happy that someone like you had been given the chance to help these 🐢 🐢 survive and maybe one day some will have wild extinction label removed. I understand that is a long road but one can hope.

[@Gomon87]

When I was in college (2006-2010) From my one-bedroom apartment I had three tanks. At any given time I had about 5 turtles people didn't want. I dove into researching them hard but unfortunately at the time they ALL were Yellow Sliders. I managed to bring a few backs from injury and carefully handled them until I knew they would be safe for rehoming them. I had many more others tried to rehome, and I had worked with Busch Gardens and local sanctuaries/vets. I still have two, one my mother found that started it all in the parking lot puddle of her work. No ponds or anything around I believe that sucker has to be 20 years old and I have been TRYING to help my parents get a good setup going, but they keep saying owe child support for her. The second is with me in a 60gl tank and canister set up that I got before I lost my FT job LOL but I'm doing my best to keep up with it. Glad I stocked up on supplies. You helping these turtles made me tear up. I know this video wasn't long ago but this is what I had hoped to do one day, working and helping these animals. The road is tough still. Keep it up because this is so wonderful to see someone doing too. I mean I couldn't have been the only one wanting something like that and suddenly youtube finally shows me. Ha. I know there are big shows and stuff for this but it's good to see someone had brought themselves up on it all the way.
