Fun fact: Hawai'i is the only place on Earth where these sea turtles haul out onto beaches to bask in the sun.

Animal Documentaries by PBS Nature are among the best

[@aprildawnsunshine4326]

Wouldn't it make sense that they're drying out the alge on their shells? It'd not only decrease the amount of live alge but also make it more difficult for the alge and barnacles to stay stuck on and thus more would get eaten by the fish or knocked off.

Look at the big brain on April... I'd also argue that they are social animals and just feel safer in company (numbers)

[@aprildawnsunshine4326]

@@derekjanisch584 okay I dunno why you felt the need to take a swipe at me to voice a different theory. Especially a full year after my comment. Did I offend you somehow?

[@YumLemmingKebabs]

@@aprildawnsunshine4326 Another year later, this looks like someone who didn't know the context of "look at the big brain on" and thought it was positive when they said it.

Amazing creatures

[@R0FLC4T5]

A year later and still saying so true. They're amazing for how long they live and how quick they learn. Like whales.

A century is 100 years.

[@Ruder6163]

No it’s not

[@jesusanchorofmysoulkatheri3648]

I could watch this for a half house- great stress relief🐢

[@freshboy3968]

That's right, remember to keep your rides clean.

[@Jazzfestn]

What makes them "unique"? Their TASTE! Ono! Bwa ha ha!

[@Russia-bullies]

Green sea turtle:”Barnacles.Anyone?”😁

[@andreibrovkin5559]

So good.

[@Cuban20]

[@learnimaginecreate5883]

I have a sea turtle video! Check it out, saw them in Maui Hawaii and they are amazing!

[@Numocron]

Oh wow man.😃

[@hankakah4180]

The males come ashore to escort the females because they have what's called the "Aloha Spirit" 😍🤙💖

[@DekSotto-my1dy]

Barnacles is every turtles' nightmare

[@papuiappa1641]

Now watching👍🤔🤔😗

[@forshizzlemywizzle]

Aw, that males are just there for moral support :)

[@25jessieg]

The male cares to the point the eggs are in the ground. On to the next female.
