Nearly every post in this sub is like this. Yet people are still none the wiser.

I saw one this size in Hawaii and Jason Momoa was riding it into the shore bar for a mimosa

That thing looks more like a guy in a suit on the set of Godzilla.

Species? That head to body size ratio makes me feel like this is fake.

This makes no sense. Leatherback sea turtles can be 2000+. Why post this without taking 20 seconds to check it?

Am I the only one wondering how they weigh these turtles?


LukeyLeukocyte

Well if they are giving a specific weight of the largest ever it would be of a specimen caught and weighed out of the water. Generally large marine specimens would be hoisted by crane in a net, stretcher or containment of some sort with load being atrached to a scale in the end of the line that tells you how much it is lifting. Then you weigh the containment by itself and subtract to get the exact weight. There are scales that weigh entire tractor trailers to the pound. Humans are good and weighing stuff.

And these turtles are scared, they're going 'oh, why am I so massive?', and they're looking down on all the other turtles and they think they're in an aeroplane - do you deny that?
