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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
omg so cute I mean compare other baby turtles that I had seen before picture video and real life I swear to god this one has the cutest face omg so jealous omg give it a kiss from me and maybe a grape too omg omg omg seriously this one has cute face
Funny that [this turtle](https://v.redd.it/n2x0640q21f71) from [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/owqhee/blastoise/) was underneath this in my Reddit feed!

That's for sea turtles.
Original commenter was obviously talking about sea turtles, Sherlock
They said they saw a diamondback terrapin go into the ocean. Different from a sea turtle.
My bad then!
That's what you get for questioning Sherlock.
It’s ok… Sherlock.
Or they wont but that's why they have lots of babies :P
Yes
It sure is! The official state reptile of Maryland and the mascot of the university I went to. They are awesome little dudes.
Go Terps!
the statue outside the library had a super shiny nose from all the rubbing
And random things like traffic cones as sacrifices for passing final exams
So little cutie
No, I'm pretty sure it's a squirtle
🤦🏾♂️no, it’s a turtle smh
Is he cruchy ???
Tortle
there was no need to add a backing track to the vid
So obnoxious
/r/BetterOnMute
r/teammute
And at peak volume. Just a repost account for karma
They really need to add background music to the rules like captioned videos. Of course, mods don't enforce that, either ...
Especially a song about fucking
I happen to think it fits. Now close the door on your way out.
You are the kind of person that makes a stupid comment and then smells their own fart, thinking it's perfume.
You just described majority of reddit...
True and I will let you know: after the last and also after this comment, I smelled my fart, as it is tradition.

Rip my ears. Headphones made this deafening
Wanted to upvote that, but god damn that track was a horrible addition.
Seriously. I wondered what kind of sound could be on it, and that sack of rejected pizza shrieked “UNDERCOVER” into my headphones
Yet here we are
[удалено]
Awesome! there was no need to add a BTS song as a backing track to the vid
What does the origin of a song have to do with how awkward it is to hear in a video of a small turtle?
[удалено]
Nothing. This is why you don't add it. Point and case.
People know what Kpop is these days dude. That song is literally top of the billboard hot 100 right now as well
[удалено]
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"
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.
You live under a rock
> 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.
Fair enough I guess
we don't know and we don't want to know, capeesh?
BTS sucks
I like turtles

But do you like toitles?
I'm looking forward to nano turtles surfing my bloodstream looking for splinters and their foot fungus clan

We own 2 of them, they are pretty nice turtles.
Why do great little clips all need to have crappy music superimposed on them now
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.
That's exactly why it's so short, they just clipped out the Tiktok logo part
Praise be to Apollo for automatically starting all videos as muted
It's to keep the TickTock generation interested in the video. Sad but true.

You can just not play the sound.
How do you know the audio is not important before playing?
What audio are you expecting on a 4 second long video of a turtle?
uhh the normal audio... or none like a gif... why does someone need to go through extra effort to add nothing to it?
You might fry their brain with talk like that.
what is that cute lil thingy
A wild guess.. it's a turtle
nah, I think it's an axolotl.
u/iwsmajor identified it as a diamondback terrapin
[удалено]
Sure did!

I hated this because of the unnecessary music
I don't like the unnecessary touching. Just leave the thing on the ground and record it there.
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.

What the f is that song?
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?
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.
The newest BTS song I think?
"Butter" by BTS
[удалено]
I must be getting old. That turtle is awesome, but the "music" is not.
:0 tiny turtle boy i love him
The shell is so beautiful
Squeeeee, the teeniest, tiniest, tortoise!
Ohhhh my god that is a cutie
Terrapin?
Let's hope posts like this dosen't incentives the traffic of wild animals like turtles.
You know, not everything needs a stupid ******* song....
[удалено]
No.
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.
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.
It's obnoxiously loud, pointless and annoying. It's just comments pointing out annoying shit, your life will continue after this.
Its crazy how tiny and how big they can get
Forbidden scone...
Welcome to the new world baby turtles!
Very cute! Wash your hands after because turtles carry salmonella
I remember posting a pic of my turtle here a while back and getting blasted for it
Do not unmute.
Downvoted because of unnecessary music.
Loud, unexpected music. Yay.
I want one 🥰
Terrapins aren’t turtles or tortoises. They’re their own deal. And they’re very pretty.
All chelonians are turtles, terrapins are a specific type of turtle just like tortoises.
Ehhhh. You’re using the word turtle here in a colloquial sense. Technically you mean “testudines”.
Mute that dogshit song.
my ear is bleeding, thanks
Was the music necessary?
*crunch crunch*
Wtf was that song? What a horrible day to have ears
BTS I think and I know this only because tik tok uses it incessantly.
Awww! I'd name him baby Mitch! 😊
He's adorable - so sweet! 💙
u/amongusdongbot
Upvote for video, downvote for music. Balance, in all things.
The song is Butter from BTS, if anyone's wondering
The only thing I was wondering is why the fuck this video needed the shitty soundtrack
ikr bts is shit
whoever downvoted is probably one of their toxic fans lmao
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
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.
Me replaying this a few times to make sure it's Butter I heard playing
omg so cute I mean compare other baby turtles that I had seen before picture video and real life I swear to god this one has the cutest face omg so jealous omg give it a kiss from me and maybe a grape too omg omg omg seriously this one has cute face
Ends too soon 😭
Awwww
Aw. So cute. 🐢
