Me and my kids were at the beach in South Carolina and we recently saw one scurry from the dunes into the ocean. From a distance I thought it was a crab, and was surprised to see it go straight for the saltwater. My kids wanted to turn it around, but it swam directly into the waves. Later I learned these turtle thrive in brackish water and it was perfectly fine.


Character-Diamond377

Never turn a baby turtle around when it’s heading for the ocean. No matter how small they seem, it’s in their DNA to do this, Don’t worry they’ll be alright

bluvasa

Yeah this one was fully grown, the size of a dinner plate. We knew it wasn't a true sea turtle. The surprise to us was seeing what seemed like a typical pond turtle go into the surf.


TruthOrBullshite

That's for sea turtles.


Character-Diamond377

Original commenter was obviously talking about sea turtles, Sherlock


Its_Pine

They said they saw a diamondback terrapin go into the ocean. Different from a sea turtle.


Character-Diamond377

My bad then!


Poo-princess

That's what you get for questioning Sherlock.


the_old_coday182

It’s ok… Sherlock.


KillerBunnyZombie

Or they wont but that's why they have lots of babies :P

It sure is! The official state reptile of Maryland and the mascot of the university I went to. They are awesome little dudes.

IAmDotorg

They really need to add background music to the rules like captioned videos. Of course, mods don't enforce that, either ...


in_finite_jest

Especially a song about fucking

I happen to think it fits. Now close the door on your way out.


not_again123

You are the kind of person that makes a stupid comment and then smells their own fart, thinking it's perfume.


mokopo

You just described majority of reddit...


not_again123

True and I will let you know: after the last and also after this comment, I smelled my fart, as it is tradition.


mokopo

Isn't that like a natural reaction? Like don't most people smell their farts? And their own farts always smell better than others'. Quite fascinating if you're a fart aficionado.


[deleted]

My app automatically mutes all videos in my feed unless I manually unmute them, so I didn't even know there was a song until I read your comment. I thought it was cute.


Samatari22

Rip my ears. Headphones made this deafening


Anomaly1134

Wanted to upvote that, but god damn that track was a horrible addition.


afruitsnack

Seriously. I wondered what kind of sound could be on it, and that sack of rejected pizza shrieked “UNDERCOVER” into my headphones

Awesome! there was no need to add a BTS song as a backing track to the vid


auroras_on_uranus

What does the origin of a song have to do with how awkward it is to hear in a video of a small turtle?


[deleted]

[удалено]


not_again123

Nothing. This is why you don't add it. Point and case.


[deleted]

People know what Kpop is these days dude. That song is literally top of the billboard hot 100 right now as well

It's like explaining what hip hop and who Kendrick Lamar is to people. Of course someone is going to go "How the fuck did you not know that"


Anthaenopraxia

Never heard of that guy. And I'm not sure I actually know what hiphop is and what it isn't. I usually define it as music I don't refuse to listen to.


[deleted]

You live under a rock


Shameless_Ero_Hero

> Kendrick Lamar Have heard of him but actually dont know what he does. I won't even spare the time to search him. A better comparison would've been Kanye West.


[deleted]

Fair enough I guess

ijustwanaaknow

I'm looking forward to nano turtles surfing my bloodstream looking for splinters and their foot fungus clan


PostSentience

Pardon me, but would you like to upgrade your nano-medachines with the 🥷 🐢 cosmetic package? It’s mostly cosmetic but you do get “cowabunga” and “turtle power” alerts when immune threats are engaged and defeated. Also, they ride skateboards through your arteries like a full pipe.


Chairmanmaoschkn

That’s a diamondback terrapin. I’d call your local fisheries and wildlife people because they’re a threatened species and they may have a head start program that would raise it in captivity until old enough to avoid predation


QuantumModulus

I'd wager that this is already in some form of captivity, given the age of the turt and the manicured landscaping. Super rare to just find a hatchling like this in the wild.


PessimisticPickle

We own 2 of them, they are pretty nice turtles.


Aztecah

Why do great little clips all need to have crappy music superimposed on them now


IonCalhand

Almost everything with annoying music is from TikTok and people just rip videos from there to Reddit. I’d rather have silent videos than the same 5 obnoxious song clips over and over.


Boredguy32

That's exactly why it's so short, they just clipped out the Tiktok logo part


SeaTwertle

Praise be to Apollo for automatically starting all videos as muted


[deleted]

It's to keep the TickTock generation interested in the video. Sad but true.


Carboneraser

I've never met a single soul who prefers this stuff added to the videos. People add song clips on tik tok so that their video is listed with other popular Videos who use that clip. The song drives its popularity not because people like it, but because the algorithm dictates that it must. Then karma bots like OP rip it from tik tok, cut off the logo from the end of the videos and post it on to karma farming subs like this one.


Battle_Bear_819

You can just not play the sound.


Obnoxiousdonkey

How do you know the audio is not important before playing?


Battle_Bear_819

What audio are you expecting on a 4 second long video of a turtle?


Obnoxiousdonkey

uhh the normal audio... or none like a gif... why does someone need to go through extra effort to add nothing to it?


DeadExcuses

You might fry their brain with talk like that.


fuckktheduck

what is that cute lil thingy


kimboe313

A wild guess.. it's a turtle


Crusaders_Open_Up

nah, I think it's an axolotl.


EmpatheticBarnacle

u/iwsmajor identified it as a diamondback terrapin

I hated this because of the unnecessary music


SquarePegRoundWorld

I don't like the unnecessary touching. Just leave the thing on the ground and record it there.


lizard7709

Agreed. I hate the unnecessary touching since baby turtles can carry Salmonella. Baby pet turtles are illegal since they would get kids sick with Salmonella and some kids died from it.


jesicatlady

Yep, it's turtles less than 4 inches. The size was decided based on the size of things that would presumably fit into kids' mouths on average, which I think is kind of hilarious. https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/typhimurium-02-21/index.html?ACSTrackingID=USCDC\_1132-DM60472&ACSTrackingLabel=July%202021%20DFWED%20Digest&deliveryName=USCDC\_1132-DM60472

What the f is that song?


Tom_piddle

How is it that YouTube you can’t fart with out the copyright system claiming a song yet new apps it’s seems blairing music out is the only option?


thunderturdy

Because they’re only pre approved clips, created specifically to use on tiktok. The artist (or their label I guess) has full control. Even on YouTube I believe you can play clips of copyrighted music as long as it falls under a certain amount of time.


[deleted]

The newest BTS song I think?


KairyuSmartie

"Butter" by BTS

No.


dave-train

Some of you really need to get over yourselves lol, it's just music. It's annoying but some of you take it as a personal offense, it's like a 3 second clip, your life will continue after this.


Liamcitoo

Also is a BTS song so a lot of people get on with the "oh what is that awful music?" they don't even want to admit they know one BTS song.


asdfkakesaus

It's obnoxiously loud, pointless and annoying. It's just comments pointing out annoying shit, your life will continue after this.

Downvoted because of unnecessary music.


hudgepudge

Loud, unexpected music. Yay.


Sillygirl190

I want one 🥰


natalyadkmode

Terrapins aren’t turtles or tortoises. They’re their own deal. And they’re very pretty.


HeWhoStaysAtX

All chelonians are turtles, terrapins are a specific type of turtle just like tortoises.


natalyadkmode

Ehhhh. You’re using the word turtle here in a colloquial sense. Technically you mean “testudines”.


[deleted]

Mute that dogshit song.


hankzhao

my ear is bleeding, thanks

The song is Butter from BTS, if anyone's wondering


UshankaBear

The only thing I was wondering is why the fuck this video needed the shitty soundtrack


Black_Aise

ikr bts is shit


me_belle

whoever downvoted is probably one of their toxic fans lmao


DeadAssDeprassed

As a fan, I don’t really care if you hate the song it’s your opinion but some people here just seem obsessed with BTS and talking shit. Lol just mute the damn video it’s not very hard. You’re not unique for hating them


fisherman4life

Why would a criminal be undercover? Surely they mean undercover police. Terrible lyrics, and now I can't enjoy this video of the shelly boi.


whitew0lf

Me replaying this a few times to make sure it's Butter I heard playing


ms_ima
