I've owned turtle all my life and I'm 41, they will not back down and I've had turtles that did not hesitate to take my finger along with the food they were given. Fortunately, I still have all my fingers. But I had a sweet turtle that came by name and knew when it was feeding time by the words I used. Do not underestimate them.
Bro turtles are also cannibals, I have seen a video of a hunter who was looking for a turtle to catch and cook, he skinned it and sorted it, he left the shell and the carcass waste in his back garden, his motion sensor picked something up he went out to his garden and saw a turtle eating the remains of the the other turtle.
I saw a turtle once. 4 of them. They came out of the sewers like ninjas. Our foot soldier street gang had never seen anything like them. Master Shredder sent us down to the sewer to find them, but all we found was an old TV and a bunch of empty pizza boxes.
Yea man, my buddy KC told me that he fought along side some big turtles, but I thought that he was kidding until I come across this... now I'm like wow he wasn't just pulling my leg
I have learned SO MUCH about turtles this past year, and almost all of my new knowledge about them is nothing short of AMAZING!! They are smarter, more deadly, FASTER, and more cunning than I would ever have suspected in the past. My new found knowledge has given me a HUGE measure of RESPECT for all Turtles in the future!

Tbh you can get away with angering most turtles, few have the strength to seriously injure a human but alligator snapping turtles are one of the few and you can easily lose a finger to the small ones and the big ones can take a whole hand The one with the bait in its mouth was a alligator snapper
@@zyanidwarfare5634 - Yes, snapping turtles are the ones I try to avoid. My brother almost lost his index finger to one. He had to have 10 stitches to keep it together.
Too bad what you probably learned from this video is that the term turtle and tortoise were interchangable. They are not. A turtle is NOT a tortoise. A tortoise is NOT a turtle.
My Sulcata tortoise grew to be over 150 lbs and would dig tunnels over 40 feet long. The tunnels were big enough that you could crawl all the way into them. My grandkids could ride him. He was very friendly and always wanted to be around you or the other animals. He would keep my lawn mowed.
Also Turtle: "Imagine me and you. I do. I think about you day and night. It's only right to think about the girl you love hold her tight. So happy together."
I had a turtle that was handed down like an Heirloom. She was my grandparents before I was born, she liked all the dogs and people. But she had a major attitude with the pig! RIP Pokey
Turtle is sometimes used to refer to the order of reptiles Testudines as a whole, sometimes to individual families that make up the order, and is sometimes limited to aquatic species only. Tortoise is used to refer to any non-swimming species of Testudines. Terrapin is used to describe any species of small, aquatic, hard-shelled turtles.
"Gangster's Paradise" would have been a better music selection. And turtles can live well past 100 years old. The tortoise Alagba live to 344 years old. And before you smarty pants say tortoises and turtles aren't the same. All tortoises are in fact turtles-that is, they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia, reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell-but not all turtles are tortoises. One big difference is tortoises are exclusively land creatures
Thanks for the videos, I had always thought turtles are slow, timid and harmless.,but i have learnt a new thing today. God who created all the living creatures ought to be praised and worshipped.
I had a red ear slider for 4 years allll through high school. He was so shy and small at first and wouldn’t even eat his pellets in front of me . That turned into a giant who would bite the heads off of feeder fish. He also escaped from the tank one day with the lid on and everything but hid in my closet under a pile of cloths. I miss and loved that turtle !
Other than the usual pet Painted Turtles, I had three other experiences as a kid. One was some kind of land Turtle that was run over by a car. I taped it's shell back together, and let it go. Another was a Snapping Turtle caught one day on a fishing line. We took it home to play with it and observe it, but after watching it snap tree sticks like nothing, determined it to be too dangerous, and took it back to it's pond. Another was a large Painted Turtle found by a river. Meanest Turtle I ever saw, would hiss and attack constantly, returned it back to it's river.
@@nuclearpotato251 pretty sure the mom would’ve attacked him if he tried to touch her baby without permission and the duckling would’ve gotten eaten anyway
2:38 I’d argue that’s still a win. He survived another day and had the snake bolting away. That’s a win for a turtle 🐢. The point isn’t always to kill, but to survive. The turtle protected itself.
Hey Brainiac. The tortoise grabbed the snake, not the other way around. Tortoise probably decided that the snake's gyrating was too much to deal with, or the snake might have been lucky enough to wrench itself free when the tortoise tried to get a better bite.
I was about to type this same thing. Alligators (check) Lions (check), all i need is to see one get on a Great White and Orca heads, they will hit OG Triple OG status.
@@ratulroy458 a tortoise lives on land and has proper "land feet" are very slow. The one chasing the baby bird over a log was one, and some at the end.
Lmfao imma have to agree with this. I won’t even own one as a pet. I’ve got a yellow belly and two red eared sliders that’s as far as it goes with turtles and even then I’m still careful because they bite too
The turtle attacking the alligator is actually an “alligator snapping turtle” so that explains it more. Edit: a lot of these are either alligator or common snappers or tortoises.
And it’s not a turtle attacking an alligator. You can clearly see it bite at the leaf or piece of bread. The alligator just got spooked that something touched its tail.
I had a desert tortoise when I was a kid. I found it, and I guess it was somebody's pet because it was pretty tame and didn't hide in it's shell around people. It never tried to bite me either.
@@classical715 Facts. Lions get killed by more than a few animals on the savannah, not even in the jungle lol. They get thrashed by crocs, jumped by Hyenas, kicked in the face by giraffes, stepped on by elephants etc.
We had box turtles when I was growing up. On summer nights we would sit out on the screened in porch and roll grapes for the turtles to chase and eat. When there were no more grapes, we had to be careful because the nice rounded tip of your toe looked like another grape! No one and no turtle got hurt.
My daughter who is now 40 had a 3 toed box turtle for many years as a child. Her name was Tulips and she was super smart and super sweet. She would stick her head out to one side for me to scratch her neck. She liked going for walks in the dining room and never made a mess. She loved watermelon and corn.
Turtles are are aquatic. This clip shows some of their terrestrial cousins...tortoises . Tortoises' feet are thick and cylindrical. Turtles have legs in shape of flippers, an adaptation fir swimming
A good way to know is also to check how the turtle walks. If it lifts its shell and walks on its toes, it may be a tortoise. If the turtle hardly gets off the ground and moves in a dragging motion, it may be a turtle.
You may want to Google your information before just telling others they are wrong because Terrapins, Tortoises, and Turtles are all basically Turtles acclimated to where there are. Tortoises on land and Terrapins in freshwater are basically just different subspecies of Turtles, not counting the fourth kind which is the saltwater or sea Turtle!
Not quite true. The American Box turtle with five claws (land turtle) is not a tortoise. It is more closely related to pond turtles in the family Emydidae.
I have had probably close to 30 turtles over the years. Some I left go, some got away, a few died and some I still have. The first one I ever had bit me on the upper lip, just below my nose. It was a box turtle and I was holding it like a burger and talking. It saw my lips moving and thought it was a worm. It held on just like in these clips and would not let go. When this happens, most box turtles will use it's front claws to help tear the worm or in this case my lip. So I had to hold on to it's legs and relax for about 30 seconds and when it let go to get a better grip, I pulled it away. My sister use to tease me it was my first kiss. lol. My daughter had a similar experience with a turtle as well. Not sure exactly how but she was holding a turtle and came in screaming and bleeding from under he tongue. I have no idea how the turtle bit her there and she never quite explained it.....
A funny story about my fear of turtles. It stems back to Kindergarten when a stupid teacher forced all of us kids to sit around in a circle and then released a big turtle in the middle. I told her I was scared but Instead of listening and respecting my fear she instead forced me to sit there. Of course the turtle came right over to me so I pushed it away. The turtle was fine but the teacher flipped out and started screaming at me that it's only a turtle and it wasn't going to hurt me. I told her I don't know that and neither do you. Now I see I was totally right to fear that thing with those jaws! She made us sit there with our legs open, that thing could have bit something it thought was a worm! I remember she called my mother and made her come in to talk about this. The teacher was ranting and raving but even as a kindergartener I said when somebody tells you they are scared of an animal you need to respect that and not force it on them. She was all stunned and pissed but couldn't argue. She got schooled by a kindergartener that day. You don't force an animal on somebody if they tell you no. That's how people and animals get hurt.
Just a correction if I may, the land ones are called tortoise(s) and only the ones that live in water are called turtle(s). Great clip, btw 👍🏼 Thank you for sharing it.
Yeah, nah. All tortoises are turtles, turtle is the term that covers the whole family of land and water based reptiles that have shells.. A tortoise is type of land based turtle so all tortoises are turtles but not all land based turtles are tortoises as there are some land based turtles. It’s not as simple one type in the water and one type on dry land, there are differences regarding herbivore / carnivore and shapes of shell and feet / flippers. If you call a reptile with a shell a turtle you are right, whatever type of turtle it is.
@@zerox_diamond The sensible point being made by Wassnotwas is that Americans routinely call all land-based tortoises "turtles", when that word is best left to the water-dwelling reptiles.
The turtle that tried to "eat" the lizard was a matamata. They don't have the bite force to harm anything too large to fit in their mouths. It's more likely it was trying to scare the lizard away. They rely on the suction created when they open their mouths to catch their prey -- usually small fish -- which they swallow whole.
We had a retention pond at work, with turtles. Every year, the ducks hatch a brood of ducklings. The turtles eat one a day, until they are gone. Another water bird, keeps her chicks in the tall reeds, where the turtles can’t go.
2:50 Actually not. Those are Mata Mata turtles, a unique species characterized by not having sharp jaws to kill their preys. In exchange, they suck their food (usually small fishes and invertebrates) alive, eating them whole. They can't bite but they use that impressive vacuum force to scare any possible threat. Despite all of this, they are just an always-smiling harmless ones.
When I was much younger my maternal grandmother bought a live tortoise .it was crawling all over our compound .one day I was playing with it.my finger entered its back the animal trapped my finger .it came with excruciating pains until it opened its cloaca again. Thank God I learnt my lesson and avoided its tail end.
That probably was a box turtle; they can close up, front and rear, because their bottom shell (plastron) is hinged where it joins the carapace. A tortoise cannot do that. I have had a box turtle trap my finger also. It hurt like heck.
We helped a turtle back into the water, it chose the wrong spot as the sand banks were about twenty feet high with no entry points. This was on Fraser Island Australia not far from Sandy Cape and my friend coped a wallop on the ankle for his trouble. There were Dingo's hanging around that is why we tried to help her.
Very nice of you to help the turtle! Dingos will eat ANYTHING they can rip some flesh from. A pack of them can be nasty to deal with, even for humans in some cases.
We have two red eared sliders that are totally domesticated. They sleep in the bed with my daughter, and follow her around like puppies all over the house. They come when their name is called, and enjoy sitting on the couch watching Animal Planet for hours.
Relentless. Never release a pet Red Slider or any other turtle into the wild. A couple of Red Sliders, often given as gifts the size of a silver dollar grow very large and live for 60 or more years. They can wipe out the native population of a pond or even small lake especially if they can breed.
@@john-paulsilke893 ageed I had my grandfathers pond get taken over by turtles out of nowhere and had to clean them out because if you tried to fish they would literally swim to a bobber then dive to go after bait and thats how I did it and everyone I caught I used catfish skinners to cut that bottom jaw off so they would drown and couldn't eat! Sounds terrible, until you see something like I seen those turtles do to a very well stocked pond that ended up with basically two huge grass carp around 60-80lbs they couldn't eat my grandfather had in there to keep the slime and foliage manageable!
I was terrified of the snapping turtles that were about a foot in diameter with a clear intention of snapping any body parts off you they could get to. That was back on the Gasconade River in Missouri when I was a kid. I have never considered turtles pacifists.
Karen, you shouldn’t worry-their eyes are weak but they pick up the the vibrations, scent change & the water current-by the time you get there they are long gone or way back in their den. Humans are too big & it’s like they know they don’t stand a chance,
In case y’all didn’t know, if you ever get clamped by a turtle or tortoise, try locating its ear holes on the sides of its head and pinch at them with your fingers with a bit of force. This can cause their jaws to loosen up and you’ll be able to get away. However, it would also be nice if you take extra care not to dislocate the turtle’s jaw in the process because it could be painful for them too. Whatever you do, don’t try shaking them off-they’ll bite harder and you’ll both get pretty hurt.
@@Scarlet_goose personally I believe pinching the ear holes is more effective because sometimes turtles tend to bite down so hard it’s impossible for them to relax their jaws without a bit of manual help otherwise
It’s a shame that the creators of this video don’t seem to know the distinct difference between turtles and tortoises (both of which are shown, but tortoises incorrectly labeled as turtles)! 👎🏼
Clearly whoever wrote the script did not know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise. And if you want to teach about these animals you should know the difference. There are several differences between them. As one person already pointed out turtles need water to live and tortoises live on dry land. Typically tortoises are less aggressive. Turtles are more predatory. Some of the turtles and this video where snapping turtles which can get to be huge and highly aggressive! I just wish the information had been better.
You may want to Google your information before just telling others they are wrong because Terrapins, Tortoises, and Turtles are all basically Turtles acclimated to where there are. Tortoises on land and Terrapins in freshwater are basically just different subspecies of Turtles, not counting the fourth kind which is the saltwater or sea Turtle!
As pointed out by others, the video shows turtles, terrapins, and tortoises but the narrator refers to all of them as turtles. Other than that, it is an interesting video.
All of the above are just one or another form of "tortoise" or "turtle". I suppose that the latter vernacular term satisfies descriptions at that level.
Narrator: "People view turtles as nice, peaceful creatures." Me (has two common snapping turtles, Vuitton and Gucci, as well as an alligator snapping turtle, Versace): "...I beg to differ, pal." I have also had the absolute SH#T bitten out of me by an Eastern Box Turtle (even though they are technically tortoises)... I called her Isa (ee-sa) and I had found her wondering through what I would refer to as being a concrete jungle and so for her own safety, I decided to relocate her to the mountains near my house. During our short time together, I grew rather fond of the old gal. She had prominent wear and tear on her shell which told me that she had been on this Earth for quite some time, probably longer than myself, and she was not shy of humans AT ALL so I suspect she had a decent amount of experience when it comes to human interaction. Anywho, for the few days that I had her in my care, I wanted to ensure that she had a natural environment and so I built a temporary enclosure outside and provided her with water, earthworms, crickets, slugs, grasshoppers, mushrooms, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. I noticed her favorite foods that she went absolutely crazy over were slugs, earthworms, grasshoppers, bananas, grapes, and strawberries. I brought her inside once and was rewarded with a large amount of dark brown turtle sh*t slung across my white bed sheets... That was entirely my fault and I did not make that mistake again. 🤣 She was exceptionally smart and would rush to me (in turtle speed) when she seen me with food. One evening, I was sitting in her enclosure and hand-feeding banana slices. She had crawled into my lap and all was well until she went to chomp down on a particular banana slice and accidentally latched onto my finger in the process. It was swift but my god was it painful! Trust me when I say that I would've preferred getting bitten by a cat instead of her. It left a lovely gash that gushed of blood and petrified my husband whenever he seen me dashing into the bathroom. I obviously cleaned the wound and contemplated going to the emergency room but I decided it wasn't severe enough to require stitches and so I just slapped a bandaid over it and went on about my business... Today, I have a very evident indention and scar to remind me that turtles aren't just adorable, harmless little beings. I didn't need the leftovers of Isa's bite to remind me of that, however, because as I have already mentioned, I care for two common snappers and one alligator snapper. Though Versace (alligator) is larger and more intimidating in appearance than Gucci and Vuitton, the two of them are 10x more aggressive and ferocious than Versace could ever be. As for Isa, I eventually scouted out the perfect area for her to roam about. It was an area that I had seen countless others of her species thriving in throughout the years, deciduous trees and other plant life galore with a few nearby creeks. Something else that I forgot to mention is that I believe Isa may have been carrying eggs. The reason I believe this is because I noticed her expressing nesting behavior several times. Furthermore, the time of year was exactly the time of year that EBT's breed and nest. I released her during the morning hours and she was ready to go... And no, she did not pause in her tracks and turn around to say a final farewell. 😂 She just gradually made her way into the shrubbery and I didn't stick around for long. I had done my part and she was safe. I hope she is still out there living her best life, producing baby Isa's and keeping the slug population in check. I also hope she didn't find herself back in a heavily populated area and ended up as someone's pet... I cannot stress it enough that EBTs as well as every other wild species does *NOT* belong in captivity. There are exceptions, obviously, but if you find a perfectly healthy creature, please don't take it home and make it your pet. If it requires help then help it but don't keep it... Versace was purchased from a breeder and Vuitton and Gucci were given to me because their original owner didn't want them anymore. I would never find and keep a wild animal and I hope that you wouldn't do such a thing either.
I heard turtles very much enjoy different sensations on the top of their shells. Like, if you lightly tap or scratch on their shell they feel and appreciate the calming vibration. Is this true?
Yes. My partners tortoise loves having its shell brushed with a stiff paintbrush, it started with us brushing some mud off its shell after it had been on a mission around the garden, the response was different to anything else we’d seen, after that we started brushing it and if you held the brush it would walk under it. Now it’s got a brush screwed to a bit of wood so it can wander under it whenever it wants and we will occasionally sit and brush it. Not my first choice of pet by a long way but it seems like a happy little thing.

When I was about 8 I caught a little turtle out in our ditch. I thought it was cute until it latched on to my finger and would not let go. After I finally got my bloody finger loose I had a new respect for turtles lol
I know your pain they truly do hurt and I found out the hard way with a big bite to the arm because my friends cousin basically latched it onto my arm it's worse than people think.
I heard stories back home people would go hogging at the river. They stick their hands in the wholes and come out with bloody stumps. I seen an alligator snapper the size of a Cadillac hood in my adopted dad's lake. That thing was mean I shoot it one winter with a .22 hallow point that dern thing lived. Then he was hung up in the summer from a tree for a week. Went to cut it down. It was still alive so we left him alone.
I have a 4.5yr Russian/horsefield tortoise. Had her since only a couple of months old and she is the most gentle and friendliest thing. She comes when I call her or tap on wall. If she sees me, she'll come to me, at edge of enclosure and crawl up, so she's on her hind legs. It's her way of saying she wants to be picked up. She has never bitten me and i regularly hand feed her. I even put the tiniest little crumbs of food on tip of finger to test her. She'll very slowly go for it and get the food off with her tongue lol. I've taught her 2 tricks. I've semi toilet trained her, so she won't go in her enclosures, but on some tissues on floor and with certain food (brocoli) she goes crazy for it and I can even get her to give me her arm, before I give her a piece lol. They're amazing pets and so intelligent. I reckon they're smarter than some dogs. We have to be very careful on how to lay out her enclosures, because she moves things around and will use them to climb out. We got another tortoise, but got rid off her after a week. She was super violent. She was about 3yrs old and was raised on a tortoise farm and had little to no contact with humans and always always aggressive.
. American English often uses "turtle" for tortoise, in British English the two terms are not interchangeable, and (for what it's worth) Indian English often uses tortoise as the generic term for both turtles and tortoises. So I guess we're all correct. 👍
I love how people filming stuff about small animals getting eaten by turtles and always say "Is no one gonna help? Is the little birdie gonna die?" I mean stfu, you're right there filming it happening yet did nothing, you shouldn't have just said anything
I have a turtle and he is the cutest thing in my home ❤️, he come by his name , always hungry for his food , and he never bit me , I even tap my fingers on his mouth he doesn't do anything , I love him alot , yesterday I was in a depressive situation and took him in my hands and were crying and he looked in my face and didn't move for a minute , otherwise he had not stay in hand for this long ..They too understand the emotions , Pls take care of your pets whatever they are .

Good to see somebody who really knows their animal names "this kind of turtle" is a species I've never heard of. Do a bit of research and offer some more detailed commentary if you're going to put so much effort into that narrators voice.
I grew up with 2 ponds in my yard in Indiana that had snapping turtles and those things can be mean. One got me once on my index finger and it hurt really REALLY bad and the nail has never been the same since.
The snapping turtle is the only turtle I'm familiar with whose bite could cause a human serious damage. The dinner plate sized Mississippi Mud turtles and Red Eared Sliders we have here in Minnesota can't hurt you. I sometimes allow one to bite one of my fingers. Then I lift up my hand and there is a turtle dangling from my finger, but it's easy to persuade him to let go with no harm to the turtle or my finger. Generally speaking these turtles are fairly laid back and may become almost friendly (tolerant may be a better word) once they figure out you are not going to harm them. Snapping turtles, on the other hand, have a very mean disposition as well as a powerful bite. I would never allow a snapping turtle to bite my finger, not even a small one. I have a game I like to play with the Mississippi Mud turtles and Red Eared Sliders. If I can coax one to stick his head out of his shell I press down gently on the top of his head or back of the neck. he will invariably respond by resisting the pressure from my finger and arching his neck as if he were trying to right himself after getting turned upside down. They seem to enjoy this game. I suspect that is a reflexive reaction common to all turtles because they all have to get themselves righted after getting turned over once in a while. I'd bet even snapping turtles would enjoy the game, but I don't want to find out how many fingers I'd have to lose before the snapper figured out it was only a game.
@3:27 Turtle: "...put em up hcc, I can take you puthycat..." Lion: "Da hell!? *Sniff sniff* hold up, are you drunk?!" Turtle: "I'm not dwunk...I can get into my shell hic" Lion: "Look man I'm on parole and I can't afford a 3rd strike..."

Tortoise is used to refer to any non-swimming species of Testudines.
Terrapin is used to describe any species of small, aquatic, hard-shelled turtles.

And before you smarty pants say tortoises and turtles aren't the same.
All tortoises are in fact turtles-that is, they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia, reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell-but not all turtles are tortoises. One big difference is tortoises are exclusively land creatures

Another was a Snapping Turtle caught one day on a fishing line. We took it home to play with it and observe it, but after watching it snap tree sticks like nothing, determined it to be too dangerous, and took it back to it's pond. Another was a large Painted Turtle found by a river. Meanest Turtle I ever saw, would hiss and attack constantly, returned it back to it's river.

Hey Brainiac. The tortoise grabbed the snake, not the other way around. Tortoise probably decided that the snake's gyrating was too much to deal with, or the snake might have been lucky enough to wrench itself free when the tortoise tried to get a better bite.

No idea turtles were carnivores. Also, didn’t know turtles were ruthless like that. Turtles are Gs out here.
They are omnivores they eat both vegetables/fruit and yes meat
Yup, they tend to get bulkier and slower as they get older so they usually eat more vegetarian when they're older but they aren't picky lol

The turtle attacking the alligator is actually an “alligator snapping turtle” so that explains it more.
Edit: a lot of these are either alligator or common snappers or tortoises.
And it’s not a turtle attacking an alligator. You can clearly see it bite at the leaf or piece of bread. The alligator just got spooked that something touched its tail.
I had a desert tortoise when I was a kid. I found it, and I guess it was somebody's pet because it was pretty tame and didn't hide in it's shell around people. It never tried to bite me either.

Hello 👋
My daughter who is now 40 had a 3 toed box turtle for many years as a child. Her name was Tulips and she was super smart and super sweet. She would stick her head out to one side for me to scratch her neck. She liked going for walks in the dining room and never made a mess. She loved watermelon and corn.
🌷🐢❤
Turtles are are aquatic. This clip shows some of their terrestrial cousins...tortoises . Tortoises' feet are thick and cylindrical. Turtles have legs in shape of flippers, an adaptation fir swimming
A good way to know is also to check how the turtle walks. If it lifts its shell and walks on its toes, it may be a tortoise. If the turtle hardly gets off the ground and moves in a dragging motion, it may be a turtle.
Most Tortoises have dome shaped shells, and aquatic turtles have smooth, sleek flat shells.
You may want to Google your information before just telling others they are wrong because Terrapins, Tortoises, and Turtles are all basically Turtles acclimated to where there are. Tortoises on land and Terrapins in freshwater are basically just different subspecies of Turtles, not counting the fourth kind which is the saltwater or sea Turtle!
@@Irish4u2nv Thanks. I was referring to the linguistic parlance, not the phylogenetic or classification
Not quite true. The American Box turtle with five claws (land turtle) is not a tortoise. It is more closely related to pond turtles in the family Emydidae.
I have had probably close to 30 turtles over the years. Some I left go, some got away, a few died and some I still have. The first one I ever had bit me on the upper lip, just below my nose. It was a box turtle and I was holding it like a burger and talking. It saw my lips moving and thought it was a worm. It held on just like in these clips and would not let go. When this happens, most box turtles will use it's front claws to help tear the worm or in this case my lip. So I had to hold on to it's legs and relax for about 30 seconds and when it let go to get a better grip, I pulled it away. My sister use to tease me it was my first kiss. lol. My daughter had a similar experience with a turtle as well. Not sure exactly how but she was holding a turtle and came in screaming and bleeding from under he tongue. I have no idea how the turtle bit her there and she never quite explained it.....
A funny story about my fear of turtles. It stems back to Kindergarten when a stupid teacher forced all of us kids to sit around in a circle and then released a big turtle in the middle. I told her I was scared but Instead of listening and respecting my fear she instead forced me to sit there. Of course the turtle came right over to me so I pushed it away. The turtle was fine but the teacher flipped out and started screaming at me that it's only a turtle and it wasn't going to hurt me. I told her I don't know that and neither do you. Now I see I was totally right to fear that thing with those jaws! She made us sit there with our legs open, that thing could have bit something it thought was a worm! I remember she called my mother and made her come in to talk about this. The teacher was ranting and raving but even as a kindergartener I said when somebody tells you they are scared of an animal you need to respect that and not force it on them. She was all stunned and pissed but couldn't argue. She got schooled by a kindergartener that day. You don't force an animal on somebody if they tell you no. That's how people and animals get hurt.
Everyone clapped!
and then everyone clapped
I agree with him , she shouldn't force any student! If he said he's scared that's it!
What were you doing letting your worm watch the turtle?!
@@bluedogsalvage5246 He has a mind of his own. There’s no telling him anything. 😂
Just a correction if I may, the land ones are called tortoise(s) and only the ones that live in water are called turtle(s).
Great clip, btw 👍🏼 Thank you for sharing it.
Yeah, nah. All tortoises are turtles, turtle is the term that covers the whole family of land and water based reptiles that have shells..
A tortoise is type of land based turtle so all tortoises are turtles but not all land based turtles are tortoises as there are some land based turtles. It’s not as simple one type in the water and one type on dry land, there are differences regarding herbivore / carnivore and shapes of shell and feet / flippers. If you call a reptile with a shell a turtle you are right, whatever type of turtle it is.
@@vernonbear No they are completely diffrent a turtle can be a tortise but a tortise cannot be a turtle.
@@zerox_diamond The sensible point being made by Wassnotwas is that Americans routinely call all land-based tortoises "turtles", when that word is best left to the water-dwelling reptiles.

The turtle that tried to "eat" the lizard was a matamata. They don't have the bite force to harm anything too large to fit in their mouths. It's more likely it was trying to scare the lizard away. They rely on the suction created when they open their mouths to catch their prey -- usually small fish -- which they swallow whole.
Ppl l
Ml, c ml
Are you filipino
@Manu Oviedo matamata means "kill kill", said twice to make you understand just what the turtle do

We had a retention pond at work, with turtles. Every year, the ducks hatch a brood of ducklings. The turtles eat one a day, until they are gone. Another water bird, keeps her chicks in the tall reeds, where the turtles can’t go.
Poor duck. Are their hatchlings meant to be food to turtles on your retention pond, or the turtles just ate them even if they musn't?
Maybe build a separate pond for the ducks?
2:50 Actually not. Those are Mata Mata turtles, a unique species characterized by not having sharp jaws to kill their preys. In exchange, they suck their food (usually small fishes and invertebrates) alive, eating them whole. They can't bite but they use that impressive vacuum force to scare any possible threat. Despite all of this, they are just an always-smiling harmless ones.
Now I wanna own one

Thank God I learnt my lesson and avoided its tail end.
😮.
That probably was a box turtle; they can close up, front and rear, because their bottom shell (plastron) is hinged where it joins the carapace. A tortoise cannot do that. I have had a box turtle trap my finger also. It hurt like heck.

We helped a turtle back into the water, it chose the wrong spot as the sand banks were about twenty feet high with no entry points. This was on Fraser Island Australia not far from Sandy Cape and my friend coped a wallop on the ankle for his trouble. There were Dingo's hanging around that is why we tried to help her.
Very nice of you to help the turtle! Dingos will eat ANYTHING they can rip some flesh from. A pack of them can be nasty to deal with, even for humans in some cases.
We have two red eared sliders that are totally domesticated. They sleep in the bed with my daughter, and follow her around like puppies all over the house. They come when their name is called, and enjoy sitting on the couch watching Animal Planet for hours.
some of those "turtles" are actually non water dwelling tortoises
yes, he treated it like they are interchangeable!
I knew that snapping turtles were powerful, but I had no real clue that most turtles was just as vicious as the snapping turtles are 🤷🏾♂️
Relentless. Never release a pet Red Slider or any other turtle into the wild. A couple of Red Sliders, often given as gifts the size of a silver dollar grow very large and live for 60 or more years. They can wipe out the native population of a pond or even small lake especially if they can breed.
@@john-paulsilke893 ageed I had my grandfathers pond get taken over by turtles out of nowhere and had to clean them out because if you tried to fish they would literally swim to a bobber then dive to go after bait and thats how I did it and everyone I caught I used catfish skinners to cut that bottom jaw off so they would drown and couldn't eat! Sounds terrible, until you see something like I seen those turtles do to a very well stocked pond that ended up with basically two huge grass carp around 60-80lbs they couldn't eat my grandfather had in there to keep the slime and foliage manageable!
I was terrified of the snapping turtles that were about a foot in diameter with a clear intention of snapping any body parts off you they could get to. That was back on the Gasconade River in Missouri when I was a kid. I have never considered turtles pacifists.

Turtle: Joke's on you, I'm into that shit.
In case y’all didn’t know, if you ever get clamped by a turtle or tortoise, try locating its ear holes on the sides of its head and pinch at them with your fingers with a bit of force. This can cause their jaws to loosen up and you’ll be able to get away. However, it would also be nice if you take extra care not to dislocate the turtle’s jaw in the process because it could be painful for them too. Whatever you do, don’t try shaking them off-they’ll bite harder and you’ll both get pretty hurt.
What about tapping there head
@@Scarlet_goose personally I believe pinching the ear holes is more effective because sometimes turtles tend to bite down so hard it’s impossible for them to relax their jaws without a bit of manual help otherwise
It’s a shame that the creators of this video don’t seem to know the distinct difference between turtles and tortoises (both of which are shown, but tortoises incorrectly labeled as turtles)! 👎🏼

Not making this simple distinction between tortoises and turtles in the commentary made the video a bit of a drab
Clearly whoever wrote the script did not know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise. And if you want to teach about these animals you should know the difference. There are several differences between them. As one person already pointed out turtles need water to live and tortoises live on dry land. Typically tortoises are less aggressive. Turtles are more predatory. Some of the turtles and this video where snapping turtles which can get to be huge and highly aggressive! I just wish the information had been better.
You may want to Google your information before just telling others they are wrong because Terrapins, Tortoises, and Turtles are all basically Turtles acclimated to where there are.

Narrator: "People view turtles as nice, peaceful creatures."
Me (has two common snapping turtles, Vuitton and Gucci, as well as an alligator snapping turtle, Versace): "...I beg to differ, pal."
I have also had the absolute SH#T bitten out of me by an Eastern Box Turtle (even though they are technically tortoises)...
I called her Isa (ee-sa) and I had found her wondering through what I would refer to as being a concrete jungle and so for her own safety, I decided to relocate her to the mountains near my house.
During our short time together, I grew rather fond of the old gal. She had prominent wear and tear on her shell which told me that she had been on this Earth for quite some time, probably longer than myself, and she was not shy of humans AT ALL so I suspect she had a decent amount of experience when it comes to human interaction.
Anywho, for the few days that I had her in my care, I wanted to ensure that she had a natural environment and so I built a temporary enclosure outside and provided her with water, earthworms, crickets, slugs, grasshoppers, mushrooms, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. I noticed her favorite foods that she went absolutely crazy over were slugs, earthworms, grasshoppers, bananas, grapes, and strawberries.
I brought her inside once and was rewarded with a large amount of dark brown turtle sh*t slung across my white bed sheets... That was entirely my fault and I did not make that mistake again. 🤣
She was exceptionally smart and would rush to me (in turtle speed) when she seen me with food.
One evening, I was sitting in her enclosure and hand-feeding banana slices. She had crawled into my lap and all was well until she went to chomp down on a particular banana slice and accidentally latched onto my finger in the process. It was swift but my god was it painful! Trust me when I say that I would've preferred getting bitten by a cat instead of her. It left a lovely gash that gushed of blood and petrified my husband whenever he seen me dashing into the bathroom. I obviously cleaned the wound and contemplated going to the emergency room but I decided it wasn't severe enough to require stitches and so I just slapped a bandaid over it and went on about my business... Today, I have a very evident indention and scar to remind me that turtles aren't just adorable, harmless little beings. I didn't need the leftovers of Isa's bite to remind me of that, however, because as I have already mentioned, I care for two common snappers and one alligator snapper. Though Versace (alligator) is larger and more intimidating in appearance than Gucci and Vuitton, the two of them are 10x more aggressive and ferocious than Versace could ever be.
As for Isa, I eventually scouted out the perfect area for her to roam about. It was an area that I had seen countless others of her species thriving in throughout the years, deciduous trees and other plant life galore with a few nearby creeks. Something else that I forgot to mention is that I believe Isa may have been carrying eggs. The reason I believe this is because I noticed her expressing nesting behavior several times. Furthermore, the time of year was exactly the time of year that EBT's breed and nest.
I released her during the morning hours and she was ready to go... And no, she did not pause in her tracks and turn around to say a final farewell. 😂 She just gradually made her way into the shrubbery and I didn't stick around for long. I had done my part and she was safe.
I hope she is still out there living her best life, producing baby Isa's and keeping the slug population in check. I also hope she didn't find herself back in a heavily populated area and ended up as someone's pet... I cannot stress it enough that EBTs as well as every other wild species does *NOT* belong in captivity. There are exceptions, obviously, but if you find a perfectly healthy creature, please don't take it home and make it your pet. If it requires help then help it but don't keep it... Versace was purchased from a breeder and Vuitton and Gucci were given to me because their original owner didn't want them anymore. I would never find and keep a wild animal and I hope that you wouldn't do such a thing either.
I love your designer turtles names lol
I heard turtles very much enjoy different sensations on the top of their shells. Like, if you lightly tap or scratch on their shell they feel and appreciate the calming vibration.
Is this true?
I wouldn't say they "enjoy" it but yeah they have sensation of pressure.
Yes. My partners tortoise loves having its shell brushed with a stiff paintbrush, it started with us brushing some mud off its shell after it had been on a mission around the garden, the response was different to anything else we’d seen, after that we started brushing it and if you held the brush it would walk under it. Now it’s got a brush screwed to a bit of wood so it can wander under it whenever it wants and we will occasionally sit and brush it. Not my first choice of pet by a long way but it seems like a happy little thing.
@@vernonbear yeah tortoises are cool lol

When I was about 8 I caught a little turtle out in our ditch. I thought it was cute until it latched on to my finger and would not let go. After I finally got my bloody finger loose I had a new respect for turtles lol
I know your pain they truly do hurt and I found out the hard way with a big bite to the arm because my friends cousin basically latched it onto my arm it's worse than people think.
I heard stories back home people would go hogging at the river. They stick their hands in the wholes and come out with bloody stumps. I seen an alligator snapper the size of a Cadillac hood in my adopted dad's lake. That thing was mean I shoot it one winter with a .22 hallow point that dern thing lived. Then he was hung up in the summer from a tree for a week. Went to cut it down. It was still alive so we left him alone.
I have a 4.5yr Russian/horsefield tortoise. Had her since only a couple of months old and she is the most gentle and friendliest thing. She comes when I call her or tap on wall. If she sees me, she'll come to me, at edge of enclosure and crawl up, so she's on her hind legs. It's her way of saying she wants to be picked up. She has never bitten me and i regularly hand feed her. I even put the tiniest little crumbs of food on tip of finger to test her. She'll very slowly go for it and get the food off with her tongue lol. I've taught her 2 tricks. I've semi toilet trained her, so she won't go in her enclosures, but on some tissues on floor and with certain food (brocoli) she goes crazy for it and I can even get her to give me her arm, before I give her a piece lol. They're amazing pets and so intelligent. I reckon they're smarter than some dogs. We have to be very careful on how to lay out her enclosures, because she moves things around and will use them to climb out. We got another tortoise, but got rid off her after a week. She was super violent. She was about 3yrs old and was raised on a tortoise farm and had little to no contact with humans and always always aggressive.
I love how it makes turtles look like monsters but they really arent
. American English often uses "turtle" for tortoise, in British English the two terms are not interchangeable, and (for what it's worth) Indian English often uses tortoise as the generic term for both turtles and tortoises. So I guess we're all correct. 👍

I have a turtle and he is the cutest thing in my home ❤️, he come by his name , always hungry for his food , and he never bit me , I even tap my fingers on his mouth he doesn't do anything , I love him alot , yesterday I was in a depressive situation and took him in my hands and were crying and he looked in my face and didn't move for a minute , otherwise he had not stay in hand for this long ..They too understand the emotions , Pls take care of your pets whatever they are .
@Sweet Pie, i hope you feeling much better, whatever you are going through right now, it's just temporary, stay strong and talk to someone about it.
Do you have a tortoise or turtle?
Turtle is slow. But after 100 year, the Turtle passed the rabbit's skeleton and won the race.
I had a turtle. sadly, he passed away one day at a very young ten or so years old.... just suddenly stopped.. but he was a mighty little thing and a talented escape artist.
I hope he's happy out there watching you😄💗

Good to see somebody who really knows their animal names "this kind of turtle" is a species I've never heard of. Do a bit of research and offer some more detailed commentary if you're going to put so much effort into that narrators voice.
Technically, he said turtles for tortoises for a few of them. But most people couldn’t tell the difference anyways. Lol
When someone makes an intetesting video, it's nice to throw in some defining facts about major differences and naming. Cos that's interesting too.
@@rossbrumby1957 I would agree..... XD
Good compilation, with not the usual nauseating BGM you see in most such videos👍
I grew up with 2 ponds in my yard in Indiana that had snapping turtles and those things can be mean. One got me once on my index finger and it hurt really REALLY bad and the nail has never been the same since.
The snapping turtle is the only turtle I'm familiar with whose bite could cause a human serious damage. The dinner plate sized Mississippi Mud turtles and Red Eared Sliders we have here in Minnesota can't hurt you. I sometimes allow one to bite one of my fingers. Then I lift up my hand and there is a turtle dangling from my finger, but it's easy to persuade him to let go with no harm to the turtle or my finger. Generally speaking these turtles are fairly laid back and may become almost friendly (tolerant may be a better word) once they figure out you are not going to harm them. Snapping turtles, on the other hand, have a very mean disposition as well as a powerful bite. I would never allow a snapping turtle to bite my finger, not even a small one.
I have a game I like to play with the Mississippi Mud turtles and Red Eared Sliders. If I can coax one to stick his head out of his shell I press down gently on the top of his head or back of the neck. he will invariably respond by resisting the pressure from my finger and arching his neck as if he were trying to right himself after getting turned upside down. They seem to enjoy this game. I suspect that is a reflexive reaction common to all turtles because they all have to get themselves righted after getting turned over once in a while. I'd bet even snapping turtles would enjoy the game, but I don't want to find out how many fingers I'd have to lose before the snapper figured out it was only a game.
Aren't those kind of turtles able to literally bit off your fingers? Lucky you kept your finger...

Never knew a turtle is such an amazing criture
I had never thought of the turtle as a predator until watching this video...have to respect the little guy 🙏
Check out out Snapping Turtle. It'll take your fingers.
@3:27
Turtle: "...put em up hcc, I can take you puthycat..."
Lion: "Da hell!? *Sniff sniff* hold up, are you drunk?!"
Turtle: "I'm not dwunk...I can get into my shell hic"
Lion: "Look man I'm on parole and I can't afford a 3rd strike..."
And this is why I love the teenage mutant turtles.
Yea conceptually speaking, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be wreaking havoc on their opponents lol
