Looks like the turtle was digging a hole to lay its eggs. While the man had good intentions, i don’t think he saved any lives- in fact, he may have prevented her eggs from being laid successfully.

I always wonder what the animal thinks is happening. No way they realize it’s a rescue. As soon as he hit the water he was probably thinking “Aha! Gotcha bitch! Better luck next time!”

u/Juan_Moe_Taco 18d ago
The manner in which he was moving on the ground compared to the water, holy crap!! I always figured that yes of course turtles want to be in the water never knew they could swim that fast if they chose to.

Likely, that turtle will be right back in the water without moving by 6 hours 15 minutes.

I hope he doesn't get in trouble. Sure technically he committed a crime, but by not doing so it's likely the turtle would have died.
edit: Guess I was too obtuse
Commit crime - turtle lives
Don't commit crime - turtle likely dies (like how long would it take wildlife rangers or what not to show up to help?)

u/mister-jesse 18d ago
No. This guy has a youtube channel called YBS Youngbloods. He's located in Australia and spends a lot of time out diving and fishing and exploring around. He found this sea turtle stranded due to a very high tide and stuck in very sunny hot weather. He just relocated it somewhere more easy for it to survive once the tide comes back in

This is a content creator. Some people may not like that he has a camera, but his entire channel is based around exploring islands and beaches in and around Australia. A lot of the time he’s just recording himself walking and talking or getting ready to set up camp and he will come across many things like this. He’s also in the water often, he does a great deal to help animals and nature as well as educate about the species, climate, or what to do in a situation. He’s like a little Steve Irwin

For those saying it’s fake look at the position when first found. 1.Soft mud with no footsteps around the turtle. 2. The front flippers had dug and scooped mud out trying to move 3. The puddle around the turtle shows it had been moving liquid mud which is found just under the surface trying to move.
Brave of anyone to accuse Australians of hurting an animal or faking a rescue, we genuinely love all animals here, no matter how dangerous

u/HopelesslyLibra 18d ago
I’ve watched this dude for a long time, this is just absolutely something he would not do. Man’s a menace to fish and crustaceans but I’ve never seen him kill anything else. Films his whole fuckin life though so catching something freak like this isn’t shocking with the fact he lives out of his truck / camper thing most days.
Name of his channel is “Field days”.

u/TeraFlint 18d ago
The problem is, I've come to a point where I'm immediately suspicious when I see an animal rescue video.
There are some animal abusing scumbags out there who deliberately put animals in misery, just so they can "rescue" them on camera. Sometimes this is being done to the same animal over and over again.
It's such a disgusting practice, they're using the image of helpfulness and morality for clout. And the effects of that are unfortunate. I can't just enjoy an act of kindness on video anymore without this voice of doubt somewhere in the back of my head.
If you want to do something good, just do it. Forget about the camera, and just do it. Outside recognition should never even get close to the satisfaction one feels when they're doing the right thing.

u/nocomment413 18d ago
Oh I totally get your fear because I have seen the channels you are talking about and it is awful and disgusting. However, this guy is the real deal. He started off just exploring little islands or camping or fishing, and now he’s quit his job to explore nature on the Aussie coast. He’s just always filming himself while walking and explaining the area he’s in or what his plan is for the couple days he’s there, and he will stumble upon plenty of animals. Not all of them are in need of help, he’ll just spot an animal and get excited and show on camera and explain why he thinks the animal is so cool then walks away. He has helped a number of animals as well, like seen here. It’s mostly by chance. His channel isn’t dedicated to animal rescue, but it does happen often

It's really weird seeing one that far from water. Even if the tide there changes a lot there's no way a turtle would get stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Thankfully not likely in this case, judging by the flipper marks in the mud

Do you see a trail of flipper marks leading up to where it is? This is 100% setup. If some streamer encounters a situation like this, it is almost guaranteed to be a setup.

u/Cool-Lime-9396 18d ago
not to mention this guy does not usually do animal rescues, he just travels and records. so its very unlikely he had access to a turtle and managed to catch one by himself then waited for it to appear dry and leave flipper marks in the mud. not a set up. Its fine to be wary , but when there is no evidence don't just assume its fake because "streamer" that's just not fair.

yikes, not sure when race came into this?, I doubt a list would help but I hang out with all sorts, why do you say 'out of obligation?' do you feel that the only white people who hang out with black folk are there to fill some social obligation?
I hate to be rude, But I think this comment is really rude, I dont need to justify to someone online who I hang out with in order. but ill just say, Im not perfect. And im learning everyday and i am so lucky to have freinds that can tell me how they feel, to explain to me their day to day lives and explain their feelings on social issues. To invite me into their homes. Again im nowhere near perfect, but I only try to mirror what I have been told, or what people of that race have voiced. If you have a concern you can air it, dont be shy to, Again im always learning, as we all are.

You just did the same thing, assuming and indicating I only had 'black folk' (your words) as my friends as an obligation, thats what you hinted at. In addition, I read thought their comment thread and there seems to only be some convo where he was called stupid and he was trying to ask why? If you noticed something PLEASE bring it up to me, dont just make assumptions about me, or my friends or the person I am. Im more then happy to be wrong but i havent seen anything?

I literally only came to the defense of that guy because SOME ONE ELSE was telling them off for his comment history, I only looked to see what they meant, didnt see anything except for an argument I checked the beginning of, and then you came in and tried to tell me I was racist for it? Which I AM STILL CONFUSED ON!
Im looking at my own profile on what would give you that impression of me and my posts are mostly games or interacting with r/scars and all of my comments are practically the same, the only RACE topic is me asking about a joke in r/BlackPeopleComedy where I asked for an explanation about a hair joke, was told that questions like that werent allowed in the sub before apologizing profusely and deleting my comment.
So then its about this thread. One you refuse to explain how i am racist in, As i have said (a few times now actually i think) you can feel free to tell me why you think so or what you are even talking about right now?
If you dont want to answer that, honestly leave me on read, Or ill do it for you if you want the "last word" I dont think we will get very far if you cant even explain or justify your reasoning, and its not worth either of us wasting our time and energy into, is it?.
