Hold on bro, we’re coming!

.....two weeks later.....

Today you. Tomorrow me.

It’s funny how he’s spazzing out, kicking and spinning in circles, then clearly someone tells him to chill towards the end.

Demonstrable altruism among reptiles, fuckin awesome.

I've seen turtles and tortoises do this often enough that I think helping each other out is natural for them.

Nah, him squiggling around was just annoying them.

Was it Dawkins that brought the idea of altruism itself being selfish? You do good things to feel good, which is satisfying your own need, or you do good to further the race like in this video, you can't breed with a dead turtle so you help each other survive.

Is it altruism or an instinct because baby turtles often need to be flipped?

They swam over thinking there was food. You see the turtle flip itself by extending its neck.

Holy shit. I literally said "thats fucking awesome" and am ecststic to see others said the same thing lol

They’re better at it than most people!

Altruism AND Autism. Much love for Wally as his community stepping up to accommodate his whimsical shenanigans.

Is it really altruism? Or just something they do becaus they get flippeld themselves and this makes sure they get helped when it happens as well.

I'm sure this is instinct. If they didn't evolve to do this, they'd be extinct pretty fast. I've seen quite a few videos like this. Really interesting.

How did he get turned over at that shallow water?

What just to shoot a video for internet points? NO ! never

I see them do derpy shit like climb on top of each other, slip and flip, in real life all the time. We got a lake FULL of turtles near my house that behave like this.

If he walked into the water the turtles would shy away from the camera viewpoint and there would be ripples

They moved in quickly after the turtle was likely flipped over by an asshole.

Nah, bro, this is more

beatmetoit

Nah, they were tryna eat him

gifreversingbot

Might have been luck. My experience with turtles is they would happily eat family members. They are brutal fuckers.

Yeah I can believe that. Turtles eat ducks too, they bite them in the belly and eat there way into the duck (while they slowly die). Once they bit they don't let go.

This seems far more likely

Haha yeah I was thinking they were just moving in to eat whatever was splashing and he managed to flip back over in the commotion

🎶the phone. The phone is ringing. There’s an animal in trouble somewhere🎶

I hate you so much

I may or may not be one of those kids

"Fuck sakes Tommy, how has this happened again?"

"Look at me, I can do a barrel ro--ah shit"

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.

Why... I just listened to that song

They’re not helping, they’re trying to eat him.

donthelpjustfilm

I feel like its pretty likely the the cameraman was the one that flipped the turtle over

Isn’t the whole point of this to watch how they help them without interfering? It didn’t need camera person‘s help

So, two possible explanations:

I remember watching a nature doc as a kid and seeing a dove, flailing in the water, get devoured by turtles.

We got a flipper fellas! Move in for tactical flip!

Turtles have a second shell. Besides their outer shell, turtles also have a lower shell, called a plastron. The plastron usually joins with the upper shell—called the carapace—along both sides of the body to create a complete skeletal box.

GUYS!?!? GUYS I FUCKED UP AGAIN

Jeremy, seriously, not again. This attention seeking behavior is getting a little old…. /s

Haha, look at all these idiots upside down, don't worry I'll help... ...OH!

Thanks for showing the successful turn for .25 seconds

I wonder if they were actually trying to help the turtle? Or if perhaps they sensed a possible meal? Personally, i dont trust Turtles.. same with Sloths.. i know they can move fast, they are just holding back to lure us into a false sense of security.. then they will make their move.. just an army of sloths holding turtles like shields, sprinting full speed at you.. in a shrieking, stinking, algae covered fit of rage they will make us FEEL their pain..

Turtles really out here doing more for each other than us humans do for one another

Turtles on catnip. New YouTube channel

Anyone asking how he got upside down? Camera man? What were you doing just previously?

Code of the turtle

This actually made me feel really happy inside. What a good start to a sunday

Intelligence and empathy are not just human.

Turtles rule!!!!!

Evolutionary species survival instinct

I notice that none of the turtles stood around and blamed him for his predicament then gave him tough love and told him to pull himself up by his bootstraps. Why can’t we be more like turtles? Let’s help each other.

[удалено]

Had a turtle and he was just dumb. Did this shit all the time. Unfortunately he did it once while I was away and it killed him.

Socialists. How dare they.

Nawwww <3

If only people could be like the turtles!

“This is not a drill! Let’s go go go!”

Humans watch synchronized swimming and we never help

Looks like meats back on the menu boys! Oh we flipped him, clumsy clumsy

Correct - the splashing draws them in, thinking one of them has a large fish or something, and the others move in to steal it. Yes, I have turtles.

animalsbeingbros

Did you know turtles eat their body weight in ticks every day?

Humans also do this during emergencies

Not what you think this is.

he was just practicing his backstroke guys, chill

I bet he was embarrassed

Immediately? You don't show the start. They might have been flapping for days!

animalsbeingbros

You've got it all wrong. That was just the homies crowding in to check out spindawg's new moves.

"Oh jeez, c'mon guys, it's Kevin again....."

Immediately, once they saw the camera rolling*

I've fallen and I can't get up

I've fallen and I can't get up.....

Turtles together strong. 💪

Nature has a few design flaws…

“Bro, just relax bro, we got you”

Why did op flip the turtle tho

Is turtle in danger of drowning on his back? They seem pretty urgent

All turtles need to breathe oxygen eventually. They can survive a long time without coming to the surface, but being flipped on your back and never being able to resurface would be a death sentence. Hence the natural tendency to panic, and his buddies to flip him over

That time Crush OD'd.

This is weirdly uplifting. Hives me faith in humanity. Or turtlanity.

"Hey man, you ever have your homies push your shell?!"

"Jerry, calm- Jerry! Calm down, man..JERRY! Cool it, brother...you're okay. We got you. Chill. See? All good. We're all good."

"Stop flailing! We're trying to help!"

Oh!!!!!

The amount of weird anti-republican, pro-socialism comments on a video about turtles being bros is genuinely flabbergasting. What a bunch of bored, weird people.

If I see this again today I will scream I get it it's cool. Why is it on every subreddit?

Turtles are amazing

Trutles together strong

Like an Amish barn raising

From that title, I thought they were going to eat him.

Aww even the lil tiny one swam over. Love turtles.

Hey guys... guys!!... guys!!!! Im freaking out help me!

I need this type of friends.

Where’s bender?

I wish more people were like those turtles.

They are like. Great, Carl flipped over AGAIN!

“Mom Fred’s fallen over again”

"One of us gooble gobble"

This needs to be posted less because whomever filmed it, sucks. Also, why does the turtle's stomach give me the willies?

Today I learned turtles are more humane than humans lol.

while trying to avoid getting slapped

Steven? Again? That’s the 3rd time this week!

Turtle problems require turtle solutions.

Imagine being such a jerk you flip a turtle over and film it.

Cowabunga!

"Allright you know the drill."

I hate to break it to everyone, but they’re most likely looking for an easy meal rather than trying to help

I agree with extremelyCombustible and others that this is not altruism. The other turtles were drawn to signs of a struggling animal, as a potential food source. Common reaction of predators. Interesting that the shape of the upside-down shell served to right the turtles as it was attacked by the other turtles.

At one point, someone was just like “Dude, stop flailing around and I’ll flip you back over.”

Makes me want to leave this human race and become a turtle..

Turtles together strong 🐵

Johnny here had one to many mega pints again*

This brings me hope for turtle kind!

Smarter than a lot of humans.

Turtle squad...... Assemble

Earl stop flapping for fucks sake we’re trying to help

“ Damn it Franklin, not again”

We can learn from these guys

Dude. Dude! Chill out. We got you. Oh word. Sorry. Thanks.

We got'u bro.

And who flipped it over on its back in the first place, and just happened to be around to record the rescue , hmm ? 🤔

“HALP! I’M UPSIDE DOWN AND I CAN’T GET UP! HALP!”

Does that mean they have empathy?

Fuck yea you surround the guy on the dance floor doing sick spins like that!

Imagine if human beings were like this

More humane than humans

Humans would just whip out their phones to record videos to post on Twitter/IG/TikTok.

relatively immediately

It's a female that's why.

Except the one running away in the corner, hmm suspicious,…. I bet he did the flipping in the first place and now his trying to hightail it out of there!

If only humans were so kind…

if they were people, they all wouldve just sat there recording with their phones and then posted on twitter saying "NGMI lolllll"

Turtles bros sick.

Humans could take some pointers from this lot.

Jerry, JERRY STOP THRASHING you are blowing our cover man, gosh we can't take you anywhere

Turtles care more about other turtles they don't even know more than some humans care about other humans.

Turtles bein bros!

No, they want to eat it.

Pro tip for any turtle predators who might be reading this; turn a tasty turtle into an all you can eat turtle buffet simply by flipping it on its back and waiting a bit!

TIL turtles have more common decency than most humans.

What kind of psycho just films this?? Go help the poor tutle

I believe Republicans call that socialism.

If these were humans they'd all be swarming to gather up the change falling out of the struggling dude's pockets.

Such bullshit. These turtles were probably trying to eat him thinking it’s a distressed animal

Not replicants

Wish I was this inspired by humans!

I wonder if Dems and Repubs on Capitol Hill have seen this?

If these were humans, one of them would have filmed it, posted it in

These turtles were attracted to an easy meal. They were about to go straight animal. Thru chance, they flipped him over.
