    This is why I love your channel Kenan! Seeing how animals are sometimes treated when they are looked at as food hurts but it's good to see people like you return them to their natural habitats! Keep up the amazing work man!

    Keep up the good work Kenan. My brother and me took in a red eared slider. The previous owner never put it in water for a year. It pretty much went into a dormant state and didn't do much that whole time. Poor thing was all fucked up and was probably going to die soon. This turtle must be really freaking tough to have survived that long with next to no water/food.
    When we got it... It didn't even know how to swim. It took a year later for it to remember how to swim and now it's a really great pet. It's not shy anymore either and always wants to come up to us. I know red ears are super common and don't need a rescue nearly as much as other species do but still... I'm glad we saved a suffering animal anyways... We keep her in a big cattle tank that's 300 gallon out back now : )

    As a Korean, I'm surprised to see softshell turtles in a Korean market. As far to my knowledge, Koreans normally don't eat turtles, plus I have never seen turtles in any Korean market where I live. Also, every Korean I've met in my life had never eaten turtles sometime in their lives.
    Anyways, I'm glad that you rescued those turtles from a terrifying death since I myself love turtles.

      Yeah but today not anymore. So what surprised me was the fact that turtles were sold in a 21st century Korean market. If it was in the 1960’s then maybe I can believe it a little.

    Kenan,I once stopped traffic on a main highway here in Watertown,NY to assist a snapping turtle out of the middle of the road.I was afraid he/she was going to snap at my hand but I realized their neck wouldn’t stretch that far,so I picked up and brought it to the side of the road it was walking towards,I put it way in the tall grass.People were actually happy and thanking me as I walked back to my car. It was a good feeling to save a life!

    Florida softshells have the temper of a snapping turtle and the defensive odor of a skunk. There's at least two musk glands located between the cervical and marginal sections of their carapace, and those things will literally squirt out a jet of stench that will not easily wash off. Many years ago, I rescued an enormous female the size of a serving tray, off the road. When I lifted her up I witnessed two fine streams shooting off, reflected against the sun, about 2 feet in front of her. I didn't get hit, but the air stunk really bad.

    I hope that they dont have any weird captive fungus or something on them that could decimate the natives. I live in FL and I love our natives! They were probably quarantined somewhere along the way..Not to rain on the parade. Nothing cooler than being able to help these wonderful native creatures. Wow they are big I was concerned about releasing so many until I realized they are packed one to a container. Not so many just big beautiful ones!!

    Great work. I'm sure that these animals were health checked so as not to introduce pathogens into wild populations. Ranavirus, chytrid and other infections can be transmitted by turtles and infect some species. It is really important that the public hear about the potential terrible effects of wildlife diseases, otherwise the good that well meaning people do may be devastating.
