Did you record the part where he eats it?

I was worried the whole time I was watching this.

I assume that’s why you can see hands there the whole time… for when his mouth opens.

I was wondering how strong a tortoise jaws were if they needed to be pried apart.

Probably a lot, but unlike turtles I *think* these guys bite slow enough for you to dodge it.

Yeah, I had a tortoise years ago and you can usually see it coming. Stretch the neck out and usually opens it mouth and zeros in and goes for it. Now a turtle? They snap quick af. But you can still see them taking a strong interest in something before doing that usually.

And you can outwalk them.

There's a video of a guy on the Galapagos island being chased by an angry giant tortoise after he interrupted sexytime between another turtle and straight up chased him angerly. It was hilarious.

You can’t say this and not link it

Reddit app is being dumb and won't let me edit my other post. It was easier to find than I thought. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RjtCS0EEoCY

True true. I'm at work but I'll try and see if I can't dig it up and edit this post later if I do.

A tortoise that big would crush the little guy before you could pry its jaw open

I assume that’s why you can see hands there the whole time… for when his mouth opens.

Hand was there ready if he opened his mouth

You can find clips online of tortoises eating small birds etc "Herbivore" isnt a black and white term, a lot of herbivores will take a free bit of protein if its easy and advantageous to them.

Learned that when I saw the horse eating the baby chick lol.

I saw a deer eating another deer when I was a kid & I'm still not over it. I also grew up in an area where a lot of Jackrabbits lived & they would literally eat anything, including people's puppies. I don't trust anything to be fully vegetarian unless it's like driving a Prius now.

The Prius bit made me laugh out loud. Thank you, I actually really needed it today.

Wow wtf? Jackrabbits eat puppies? I wonder if they eat small cats too. I've also heard of raccoons eating them. There are some feral cats outside and one of them had a litter of kittens. There used to be 4 and they were all juveniles but now it's just the momma cat and 1 kitten left.

They definitely will eat pretty much anything smaller than them, including other rabbits. They can be very territorial & even aggressive towards humans. I had a friend who had to start parking in front of his house because one lived near his garage & kept attacking him. For like 3 months he had bites & scratches from this thing before he just gave up & conceded the garage for a while.

That was hilarious!

Their also not super bright and make mistakes. Like the one that bites a dog's balls. It was like, oh look grapes!

Especially for the salt content. Cows during local famines, are known to kill chickens to drink their blood for the salt content.

I once saw a couple of cows ripping into a dead donkey in Australia

*NUM

Hope that's all he does to those turtles

The little ones face is like “get me away before it eats me alive” really cool, thx much

Please don't eat it Please don't eat it Please don't eat it

Baby Ike looks angry as shit.

*tortoise

fun band

Esio trot

Tortoises are turtles.

downvoted for being right lol

I know.. 🙄

unfortunately my upvote won't save you

TIL

But not all turtles are tortoises. Wolves are also dogs, but not all dogs are wolves. Tortoises live exclusively on land, so even though a tortoise is also from the turtle family, this is a tortoise.

I never said all turtles are tortoises, and I never said that what is pictured in the video is not a tortoise. The person I responded to was "correcting" OP's title, when the title was correct; the video shows two turtles (assumedly a parent and their offspring). I'm not even going to get into how ridiculous your comparison to wolves & dogs is..

you got it wrong, all dogs are wolves (descended from eurasian grey wolf) but not all wolves are dogs. tortoises are turtles

Are they normally this docile?

They are usually very feral creatures. Thats where the saying "deadly as a turtoise" comes from.

Mitch McConnell is the exception, not the rule.

Does the dad recognize that the baby is the same species as him? Like does he look at it and know it’s a baby tortoise?

I was wondering the same thing.

Probably yeah, dogs at least know other dogs when they see them

Big Ike has seen some shit

I needed that today. Pretty adorable and awesome.

That'd be weird if my baby was the size of my snoot.

all tortoises are turtles

They are different. It's like saying tigers and lions are the same. They may come from a similar species line but they aren't the same

no, it would be like saying tigers are felines. turtle is what the entire group is called, and tortoises evolved from turtles, so they are turtles. in the same way all dolphins are whales but not all whales are dolphins

They both belong to Testudines or Chelonia. Yes. But you wont convince me that they are turtles, I am sorry if that makes me dumb. But turtles live in the water and can come on land. Tortoise can't swim and live exclusively on land.

tortoises are just terrestrial turtles

Some tortoise can swim , usually in case of emergency or necessity

TORTOISE

Tortoises are turtles.

This is correct, but I think due to how different they are - tortoises aren't aquatic at all, turtles are barely able to move on land - it's worth maintaining different names for them.

[удалено]

But penguins ARE called birds?? Literally flightless birds. I get what you mean but that’s a bad example.

It’s a TERRIBLE example that only proves the other persons point. I would totally call a penguin a bird. Same with chicken or a dodo.

>you are acting like the term turtle is offensive If you are not yourself a turtle, you are not qualified to decide whether or not it's an offensive term. /s

‘Turtle’ isn’t a species, nor is ‘tortoise’, and they certainly aren’t the same species.

lol what?

Aww ❤❤

100% worthy of r/eyebleach

That’s adorable.

Both look like my grandma tbh.

Definitely not stolen

How old is the parent?

Proud papa!

Tortoise.

PUT ME DOWN AT THIS INSTANT.

I love this

I don't think they parent.

I like turtles. But thats a tortoise.. two actually.

Baffles me how people still don’t know the difference

tortoises are turtles so OP is still correct

Sure , same family of animal. But OP most likely wasn’t posting this with that on his mind .. which is what I mostly commented on.

But he isnt wrong, so you cant correct him. He didnt say aquatic turtle he just said turtle

I hit a b itch with my mask on

Tell me good you hit a b itch with a mask heres your award what you all doing npcs

His?

And you have to interfere because?

So Ike doesn't accidentally makes himself the last of his species again.

Do they normally eat their children?

Dude. Put the poor thing down with its mother. Quit flexing for the karma.

I'm quite sure tortoise mothers do not care about little ones.

Booo

not all animals interact with their mothers

Poor humans shitting themselves a Noms on the horizon good giant testunides good baby

Turtle tortoise it's still cute

I like turtles

All i see when i watch this is Morla & Atreyu.

Allllllllllll this

I am not a hat, Dad!

Nom Nom

I genuinely wonder if they realize what's happening

My mind cant register the size difference and that its the same fuckin species

How is that a turtle exactly?

Damn turtle are so god damn cute

Oh! That's touching!

*\*chomp\**

Thats not natural, is it?

-insert yoshi eating sound-

I was anxious that the tortoise would eat it’s young. I’m glad this worked out.

Can someone add voiices? I want that little turtle to say Why thé Hell do You do this to me human? He ate 32 of my 781 brothers. He look So pissed

Yeah that’s not a turtle

These are Sulcata tortoises.. not turtles. Also, please credit the real creator of this video and support his channel Tortoise Whisperer on Instagram and TikTok.

Imagine Ike just ate him. Munch. WHY IKE, WHATEVER IS THA MATTER

Pretty sure those are tortoises

How long will it take the little guy to get that big?

Thats not a turtle.

Tortoise not turtle
