    I was scared because he kept on shaking the turtle at the start but realized that he is holding a turtle, one of the tankiest animals ever

    how does the oxygen get extracted? does it have seperate cloaca lungs or is the cloaca connected to its lungs i'm confused

      I think it just goes straight to the blood stream

    An attractive turtle? So are there unattractive titles? What defines a turtle was attractive? 😂

    Public speaking teaches you to use your hands when speaking to illustrate a point better. They should have also noted that you shouldn't do that while holding a living thing in your hand. That poor turtle's insides must have been turned to mush by the time you finished recording this.

      It's a damn turtle. I think they've evolved to withstand more than a man swaying his hands gently.

      currents are stronger than this man's hand movements

      I think the three people who replied before me are all missing the point - the hand holding the turtle should have stayed still bc moving it around is unnecessary and probably not the greatest feeling for the turtle. It’s not animal cruelty, just thoughtlessness.
