    the largest possible camera you can mount on a turtles back!

  • Yeee Ninja Turtles VS. The Big FAT Sharks

  • TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!!! 

  • How do they get so much footage

  • Why didnt they put one camera on the sharks back

  • That turtle is a Ninja Turtle xD

  • just snatching up tutles, all day long, snatching up turtles while i sing this song, woohoo.....

  • The dude is hunting turtles just as if he's going shopping

  • Does the camera really have to be that big? It just seems like it would impeded the turtle's movement

  • What they're telling us:"A technology developed by biologists and engineers..."

    What they told themselves: "DUDE! LETS GLUE A CAMERA TO THE TURTLES BACK! IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!"

  • That was a beautiful dive.... Oh wut? The turtles? Yeah they were nice too...

  • I'm a zombie and I like turtles . . . lol

  • 1:00 this azz needs to chillax the fk out for a sec

  • basically told us nothing

  • Comment removed

  • why don't you jump in and grab a tiger shark then put a camera on it?

  • @SalutaryNeglect the guys a pussy that's why

  • Keep pressing 4 over and over for rape, Thumbs up lol.

  • I really like the effort they put into the editing in this video.

  • I was waiting for him to dive in to wrestle a shark onto the ship and slap a camera on it's back too !

  • tip to the turtles, stop swimming in a place called shark bay.

  • Ohhhhhhh i like ur sarcasm 0:22 its just like when a teacher cracks a joke and no one laughs

  • What's with all the hate in the comments on this video? They aren't abusing the animals. They aren't slaughtering the animals. They're attaching fucking cameras to turtle shells to see what goes in their daily lives to try to find out why a particular species is predated by sharks more often than another. What's the ethical issue? They have a question, they want an answer, and they go about finding that answer by letting the turtles go about their daily lives with cameras. You guys are stupid.

  • Advertisement = TV not youtube :(

  • or maybe they just like loggerheads better

  • The turtle doesn't seem to happy.

  • 1:46

    Turtle: The fuck of me nigga damn

  • 1:34

  • @theleMBeleht fuck ya 

  • OH COME ON FUCKING ANIMAL ACTIVISTS. TURTLES ARE PRIMITIVE SHIT, THEY DO NOT EVEN FEEL THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN THEY ARE TAGGED WITH A CAM. HERE IN CHINA WE EAT TURTLE EVERY DAY, AND ITS GOOD. COME ONE !!!

  • thumbs up if u watch this u think of the turtle wins a shark in a battle

  • epoxy on a turtle ... bravo !

  • i bench tiger sharks ! ;D

  • I bet 89% of you wont read this, but the 11% of you who do i cannot thank you enough.

    All my life i have wanted to be a turtle. Everyday i spend countless hours studying and pretending to be a turtle, i even recently nailed a wooden shell around my torso. All i ask is that you thumbs up this comment so others can see. My family supports me and all of my friends are willing me on, but i know the more people who thumbs up this comment...the closer i will be to becoming a turtle. Thank you.

  • @READ5757 If I ever see you on the street, I'm gonna' jump you and glue a camera on your back! Then I'll release you back into the public...

  • Oh MY GOD TURTLE GET IT!

  • _____/)____\o/_____

  • GET IT OFF ME GET IT OFF ME!

  • 1:46 AHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH! FUCK! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  • hes diving all wrong

    

  • That tiger shark looks really tasty right now. I'm hungry.

  • that turtle is like:

    WTF MAN: get the fuck off my back!!!

  • Or people could just leave these bloody creatures alone! They don't need our help to live.....or die!

  • @bcmalreadythere We're already killing them off by destroying their habitats. The least we can do is help them live :P

  • @7410n0 - I hear ya. What if we actually "stopped" destoying their habitats though? They then wouldn't need us to survive at all. I can dream of course! I feel we as a human species have become too greedy on too many levels to see any real difference any time soon though. I'm only 36 and don't expect to see things improve in my life time! How I wish to be proven wrong though!

  • i hate sharks! because i love turtles :)

  • That will fall off AFTER A FEW DAYS? smh.

  • sharks are cute..

  • wowie

  • I wish I could tell the gov to use my tax money for life and nature rather than death and destruction.

  • @usmcoth Death and destruction is nature. :)

  • MASHED POTATOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Awkward turtle.

  • jah kah...

  • 0:10 I LIKE TURTLESSS

  • Looks like a missile launcher on the back of the turtles....maybe in the future

  • @greiver179 Blastoise?

  • lets start breeding poisonus turtlets just in blood so if they get ate their enemies die :p STOP EATIN MY CUTE TURTLES

  • 1:47 looks like a baby on the first swim!

  • Pimp my Turtle

    He/she gets some Nitro under the ass. I bet after this vid he/she was the coolest turtle down there :P

  • where is the fight?

  • press 4 for guy humping turtle

  • 1:47 i laughed so hard I dont know why xD

  • That the only Shark I'm scared of TIGER Shark. A TIGER Shark will eat anything. A great White Sharks are very picky eater. Give a Great white chicken or turkey. It won't eat it. A TIGER SHark will eat any meat,

  • I like turtles

  • @anmegk Which one? Not the one that says "Mmm, I love Turtles!"

  • youd think after a couple hundred years of being picked on by sharks, the loggerheads would realize something was wrong....guess adaptation doesnt come natural to all of us...

  • That poor Loggerhead turtle. Minding his own business and here comes this guy out of nowhere and slaps a camera on his shell. :(

  • Loggerhead taste better

  • Duh, you stupid scientists. Eat one of each and find out which tastes better.

  • 1:47 get the fuck off me !

  • LOGGERHEADS BE SILLY WILLIES

  • ...nice dive

  • PRESS 9 and the guy will say " EAT IT "

    thumps up if you hear it too

  • maybe the reason the turtles get killed by sharks is a guy can jsut dive into the water and catch them. i didn't even need to attach a camera to the turtles back for that assessment

  • they should attach other crap to the back like propellers and and a little house for a mouse to live in and stuff.

  • wtf he just jumps in and puts a camera on its back? thats fricking awesome.

  • THIS IS ANIMAL ABUSE... MAKING THEM VICTIMS

  • @mmg5240 you better be trolling

  • press 4 rapidly

    (he likes turtles)

  • No battle, no fun.

  • Alright asshole... You think your badass jumping in there with turtles? Try that shit with the tiger shark!

  • i like turtles!!

  • Comment removed

  • These guys need to be shot! Stop messing with the Honu (turtles).

  • @garyhicks09 So you've been to Hawaii once and think you know what's best for sea turtles? They're doing research.

  • And we fired the Ghost Busters for what reason? Such money wasting pointless research. Stop the turtle torture you ghost busting fake fucks.

  • i will easily subscribe to this channel, if the guy dives into the water and grabs the shark same exact way he did with the turtles, and mounts a cam on the sharks back,.

    

  • @TheMistahjg you subscribed anyway though didnt you.

  • @TheMistahjg i.e. A tiger shark XD

  • @TheMistahjg Actually there is a guy named Manny Puig who used to dive on sharks and catch them. He later stopped doing this though because it was found to be to stressful to the animals. Think he called it shark jumping or something like that haha.

  • @McStanky11 Yep good old Manny, also known through the Jackass fame. You can get his film on Netflix, its pretty good. He is a humble legend considering the danger of what he does.

  • retards! you are even more deserving to be eaten by sharks!

  • What an asshole. Puts a critter cam on an unsuspecting turtle, releases it and says 'Ok now go get killed by a shark". These kinds of wildlife programs are about as ethical as wholesale slaughter of animals for meat. Humans SUCK diarrhea assholes! I think we need another Hitler era, this time doing away with ignorant stupid meat eating assholes.

  • @TholepinProductions ...so what..you want ever human to be a vegetarian???

  • lol if a shark wants to eat a turtle he just gets one...it doesn't matter how long they are on the surface...the shark is faster then both anyway...

  • @SteG4Liverpool Yeah but look sharks like easier meals

  • 1:32

    '' RAAAAAPPPEEEE!! ''

  • brb divin for turtlz

  • aaaah :( it's sooo sad that they have a camera on there back :(

  • 1:48 Let me go dammit !

  • Biologists: Need to test the speed of these turtles and why sharks are eating them...We should strap a giant ass camera to their backs that serious obstructs their movement speed, and probably stops them from getting into small hiding spots away from sharks. Yeah, best idea ever.

  • that girl is hot!

  • @1:30 gotcha 

  • If the shark attacks from below how do you know it's the shark attacking if the cam is on top of the turtle? I want to see the film of the guy athletically leaping into the water to put Crittercam on the shark :-)

  • I'm no shark expert but did they really need to mount cameras on the turtles to figure out that one species stays above water more?

  • DAM NATURE! YOU SCARY!

  • poor turtles :(

  • omg this is so funny :)))

  • Why all this expensive crittercam stuff, the boat and everything ? Just take your snorkel gear and go a couple of times into the water and observe.

    And anyway, I think the Tigershark prefers the Loggerhead for it's taste.

  • @orionschwert Um no, I think the Tigershark will go for you instead. The crittercam is specially made so it can withstand underwater pressure and it is easy to locate with the satelite.

  • Leave the turtles alone you fucking shark son of a bitch go find someone big as you to fuck with lol.

  • When the part that mentioned "the other participant in this equation" and showed the shark, I was kinda hoping for that dude to go "RIGHT THERE! HARD RIGHT, HARD RIGHT!!" and just dive in and grab the shark as well xD

  • Fuck you sharks let me swim in peace....

  • Tiger Shark: YO MAH LUNCH NOW!

    Turtle: I dont care shark bites

    Tiger Shark: Momma! Me bwook toof again!

  • 1:40 ha, hes gonna get microschemed, he wont even notic-OH SHIT WHATEFUCK IS THAT!?..

  • turtles are cute

  • 1:05 i think he was a reincarnation of a dolphin who dives like that?!

  • @1:30 that guy is looking under water , salty?

  • I notice they didn't try fitting a camera to a 15; tiger shark!

  • Sharks all......"I liek turrdals!"

  • As an Aussie - the one thing he did wrong, don't dive head first into water on a reef. Unless you want to own a wheelchair.

  • Jump in and put a camera on the shark !!

  • dude is a bad ass

  • i'm glad the turtles are being eaten by sharks

  • @HappyHateDay i like turtles, screw the sharks

  • He must not have read through the PADI open water book because I remember it specifically telling us not to ride the wildlife, it also had clear illustrations of a man riding a turtle...

  • Turtle: FFFFFUUUUUU- LET GO OF ME

  • TURTLE !? I GOT THIS SHIT! (Jumps In the Water)

  • most boring 'shark' vid I've ever seen

  • 1:46 turtle is like "Yay, I'm not soup!!!"

  • they are being killed more often because they have massive cameras glued to their back obstructing their natural movement and so on, its like a flag saying, hey look i am slower because i am handicapped by this camera so eat me sharks !

  • @OnceUponAFish ya cuz u know turtles are just so much faster than sharks without cameras on their backs

  • @OnceUponAFish these cameras are designed to be hydrodynamic. they do not hinder the turtles in any way.

  • @OnceUponAFish i laught my ass when i was reading your comment xD

  • @OnceUponAFish my guess is becuase one turtle covers more ground so it has a bigger chance of being found by a shark

  • @unbreakablewill and i fucked up the typing, i mean its the other way around, know what nvm my guess

  • @OnceUponAFish

    yea.. because the vast majority of loggerheads have cameras on them ?!

    Dude, the scientists even removed the cams after a few days.. no one was hurt - and it cleared up a mystery. How you find something to complain about is beyond me.

  • @OnceUponAFish they already were being hunted more often they just put cameras to see why this was happening

  • turtle:get the camera the fuck off me.

  • turtle was like "what the fuck" lmao

  • 1:32 Turtle: OMG! 

  • @WoogieSparks no she's like hey wth!?

  • @WoogieSparks OMG  IM GETTING RAPED!

  • That turtle was like WTF!!! do i look like rambo lol.... :)

  • HAIKU

    No! Please! Dont eat me!

    Or—wear my shell as jewelry!

    Please let me swim free.

    —A Green Sea Turtle

  • this is better than animal face off

  • at 1:47 the turtle tries to do jump and jacks...except the dude wouldn't let him jump!

  • Wow hes a good diver 

  • Laser beam temp blindness.

  • Those engineers....

    i can make a little camera than that...

    The shark just got scared about that RPG ready to shoot him on the turttles back!

  • I've just found a new animal weapon, replace that camera with a bomb !

  • it will be slower with that big camera

  • We call them land-sea turtles

  • 1:47 Turtle rape

  • lol 1:30

    turtle : ''shit let me go''

    guy : ''dont worry im not chinese''

    turtle is like :-)

  • @ateffii dumb american

  • @ateffii Dude. wtf. Little kids could be watching this.  They should also not click on the China is running out of Vagina link to the right...

  • @ateffii In seychelles where we are black and white with asian minorities, the black and white eat sea turtle, though it is illegal now. i really resent that people bag the chinese needlessly when island / coastal cultures clearly would have started this trend... Nat geo is about education... humor is great when its not laced with unncessary racist comments. im sure not all chinese eat weird animals, just like not all white ppl would make such comments...

  • @ateffii du, shut the fuck up

  • @yifuhood lool calm down bro haha

  • @ateffii silent , I kill u! !

  • @ateffii stfu

  • @Ispoil4yuN1 wow why everybody is gettin hyped up? yall mad cuz my comment is top rated LMAO

  • @ateffii no its because you are a racist bitch

  • @Ispoil4yuN1 im not racist, i love asian girls so much :-) i love manga too and japanese culture... but i said that because i came here from watching chinese people abusing animals, eating cats and dogs, and cooking alive creatures :-( it teared up my heart, so i didnt think before writing my comment... but i still love asian folks they are so cute, and girls are so beautiful :-)

  • @ateffii oh ok

  • @ateffii lol i am chinese and i am laughing

  • @owenowenpig sure you are

  • "ive said it before and il say it again, i just love being a turtle" michaelangelo
