  • what's interesting is how they mentioned that sea turtles are hard to find.. but in this video they were able to meet and greet each other.. maybe they have routes that they know where they are going?

  • Not to be a bummer; but I wonder how that poor turtle is doing after the oil spill?

  • Squirtle!! You and me could've caught them all. ;(

  • It is kinda like how humming birds eat gnats and midges for protein (of which there is 0 in plant nectar), we keep finding that a lot of animals we initially thought were purely herbivores are actually omnivorous (at least to a small degree), and well even vice-versa, it is really hard to get a well rounded diet eating just a few types of plants. Vegans take note :-)

  • LOL 4:22 "Hey whatsup rick." "Nuthin much joe"

  • 4:20 D'AWWWWWWWW

  • 4:21

  • This is why I really love turtles

  • Turtle : Let go of me woman!

  • i hate goin on channles its always laggy...

  • I guess the idiot commentator didnt know that the scientific community does not support the "Primordial ooze" theory which has been refuted constantly

  • @egale180 he was reading from a script

  • that turtle was probably like HOLY SHIT DONT EAT ME!!!

  • I like turtles.

  • 3:34 even when they try to "help",mechanists still end up bieng rigid and cruell,emotions are alien to them,they believe they are imaginary,irrelevant,they believe "primitive" emotions should be supressed with "supperior" "logic",then they capture animals,vaccinate them, worm pill them,or as with "animal control(dogs and cats)in some places,are cruelly have thier reproductive organs removed,because some retarded "scientist" believes the "cat

  • Please shut up.

  • 3:07 Officer i swear i never drunk when i drive!

  • god i wish i can have a job like these guys lol

  • work hard in school bro.

  • Yeap! LOL

  • go turtles lol

  • x.x Naturally it HAS TO BE cyanobacteria. I have a long standing hate for that stuff. It Grows Insanely fast and its hard to remove when it grows in Reef Aquariums.. GAH !

  • Any comments about Turtles?Jellyfish? Anyone???

  • ...Turtles are cute.

  • Yay ! Yes they are, and such good swimmers !

  • Jellyfish taste like jelly babies!

  • We don't exactly know how it all started. Does that mean their isn't a logical answer? Or better yet, how would it evidence a creator?

  • Comment removed

  • Ok. Seriously! You all know that evolution is true and everything. Get over it by now. Actually, some dude did make it work, by adding electricity.

  • LIES!

    NO OOZE CREATED LIFE!

    how can you believe that???

    takes WAY more faith to believe that than

    in GOD.

  • .... Life from nothing..... yea OK.... so lets see some ooze make life today. If it was possible then, it must be possible now. Wasn't there an experiment some time ago were this dude decided that he was going to recreate "primordial earth?" He added all the elements that were thought to make up the "ooze" and observed it for some time. Guess what..... no life, just mud!!! lol

  • That's because the process took millions of years, idiot.

  • >.> He added elements that were thought to be in it.

    1. The Elements he added might not be correct there could be something forgotten or added that shouldn't have.

    2. Proportion. He might have had all the elements but if those elements are in the right proportions then it wouldn't work like a chemistry expieriment that lacked a certain thing to work.

    You cannot dismiss this theory since there are traces of the universe being created a.k.a. asteroids.

  • he observed it for some time? how long exactly? the process takes slightly longer than a human life time. we re talking millions of years. I know you dont believe that the earths that old but you cant disprove evolution with such a weak statement.

  • actually, he did get life. it was when he changed the gases in his experiment that it didn't work again. so no, not just mud. mud and amino acids.

  • Come on guys... that still doesn't explain life from nothing... How did life begin with such mathematical precision from a random explosion from NOTHING ( yet again)? As for the experiment, I'm not sure that his components weren't contaminated when he added the dirt. (if I'm not mistaken in his process) All data concerning the age of the Earth comes from carbon dating, which has been proved to be wildly inaccurate. We really need to find a better way to calculate...

  • ... the age of materials. But on another note, I would like to thank ya'll for participating in a polite conversation and not just throwing insults around (like sadface0 down there). I find that it is a very refreshing change to the usual bash fest you find on youtube. Thanks again!!!! :D

  • 1) natural selection is not random

    2) You CANNOT carbon date further than 50,000 years back, and thus has never been used to calculate the earth's age, If you'd spent even a moment on Google you'd figure that out.

    so obviously you know nothing of which you speak, and are either completely ignorant or purposefully deceitful.

  • and I must ask, now armed with the knowledge that carbon dating is NOT used to date the earth's age and that Abiogenesis (origins of life) is a real scientific subject that has produce viable theories.

    What natural processes do YOU suggest resulted in the universe, earth, and life?

    or do you have a SUPERnatural suggestion? did GOD do it? the FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER? are you another ignorant bastard attempting to undermine hundreds of years of logic and science because it offends your god?

  • i like the spaghetti monster idea.

    it sounds like fun lol

  • well he IS the omnipotent ruler of the universe.

  • I like toitles

  • owned

  • Wow what a beautiful creature.

  • 4:25 the turtles say HOW U DOIN? haha

  • what's that smell? oh, i know, it's a big, FAT LOAD OF BULLSHIT.

  • I know, I didn't think they could go that fast.

  • awesome thanks.

  • Wow, Karen is such a badass.

  • when you make a title dont put something that happens after 6 mins for half a sec... fucking stupid

  • Very cool :D This seems like the kinda of job that peaks my interest. Studying and looking at data about certain animal species could be my type of job :p

  • this turtle should have made a vlog.

    Smosh of the Ocean!

  • lol the other turtle was like SUP BRO? and he was WHOA DUDE WHATS THAT ON UR BACK...and the turtle with the camera is like IDK JILL

  • Ha! I bet! :)

  • Spread your BS somewhere else!

  • can we use this algae as biofuel? It grows fast and that would help with production.

  • wow ur an idiot

  • thats uh .... WEIRD

  • huh....I dont get it?...huh?

  • she dives and catches the turtle so gracefully.

  • it's a dog eat dog world . . . even in the ocean!

  • that chick who goes down and catches the turtles looks like she has a fun ass job

  • sponge bob does 2

  • Wow, turtles eat jelly fish. Learn something new every day.

  • That chick is hot. And a Dr. Mmmmm.

  • A football field? Damn, man. Start plucking that shit.

  • some vidoe

  • O_O

    I thought it was illegal to handle Green Sea Turtles...Or is that just for where I live?

  • Oh you can handle them zeron8195 the question is muthah fuckah, can they handle YOU???

    (Laughter)

    YouTube is here for our entertainment folks. Stay light.

    When we get heavy we start to fuck everything up..

    Tru Dat Tru Dat!!!!

  • Dumb ass, you don't understand anything. You are so immature. Here where I live, it is ILLEGAL to even touch the turtles, so stfu, you don't know anything. If GTFO youtube bitch

  • zero 8185

    I was OBVIOUSLY joking you stupid fuck.

    Get a sense of humor and lighten the fuck up.

    Assclown.

    Your mom says you like boys. Is that true? She could have said toys, her mouth was full at the time.

  • hey im an assclown :)

  • You are indeed.

    Are you permanently inebriated?

  • haha thats a good one, im gonna keep that one in mind

  • nice

  • AHAHAHAHAHAHA you're 58???!!!! What a fucking old fart with no life XD

    I'm not even joking. And what kind of 58 year old still tries to act moke?! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Talk about no life. I have no doubt any other 58+ year olds who go on YouTube are much more mature than you. Or what, lying about your age? Ha! So you're a little kindergartener who learned some swear words but didn't get how to use them. LMFAO sad

  • zero8195:

    I didn't realize you were a little 13 year old girl.

    My apologies.

  • lol I never said I was a girl,and even if I was, is that how you talk to girls? Is that why you're a single 58 year old man stuck in front of his computer and living in your mom's old basement? Yeah, I apologize too, cuz you and your life suck.

  • lol@ thinking you were a girl.

    That's funny!

  • I think scientist and certain officials can handle them.Civilians no touchy.

    Mostly cuz the kids would be at aw and they want one as a pet and daddy and/or mommy will spoil them and they will get them and have them as pet and then abandon them when they get older or when daddy and mommy realize they are the onse feeding them loving them and giving them attention while the kids play video game and forget about their pets.And it really sad.

  • I never forgot my pets as a kid. I balanced out my pets with my video games 60% pets and 40% video games.

  • that was pretty cool.

  • dat is the biggest turtal ever seen

  • daim, that turtle must get payed 15 dollars an hour...

  • its high definition instead of high quality

  • god created humans. not some gross sludge! hahahaha

  • I wonder why people can't simply empty their minds of their nonsense, and just enjoy a wild thing for what it is. These turtles live their lives, swimming, eating, being happy turtles with no worries (other than predators and strange people chunking them in boats). Why do we humans have to get all stupid interjecting our ideas of evolution, religion, science, and other gobbley gook into this simplistic and natural life form which is a bit of wonder unto itself?

  • lol

    "being happy turtles with no worries"

    that made my day

  • ...WTH?

  • lol just got bored at 3 am.

    Shrugs.

  • genius

  • Charmer.

  • fhdfzs

  • I like turtles....

  • awesome vid! Too bad its so short.

  • music sucked so bad i had to switch it

  • thank you for this images

  • fuck you man. This is mother earth!

  • I'm a country kid (one of the real ones)....not like the morons you see in this video. Dont talk to me about mother earth you idiot. I know more about it and love it more than you ever will.

  • cornfields on all three sides of my house.  My nearest neighbor was a mile a way. Yeah......

  • you left out a very important part if you were actually a country kid. Having a field next to you means nothing

  • I want to hear your definition of "Country Kid" you now have me curious.

  • That is very cool!

  • there is no evolution

  • lol noob

  • You sound like someone that takes the TV show Flintstones as a historical document.

  • That was cute when it saw that other turtle! :3

  • Freeze the video at 4:35 and look to the top right corner of the screen. Do you see that giant starfish?

  • Oh my gosh! Its hugeee!

    I see it now.

  • real good shot of some thing that looks like a starfish at 4:43

  • they are so cute (''')(^_^)(''')

    i want one.

    i don't believe they should be put in the boat. They should just hold them in the water to attach the camera.. but this isn't bad at all. i like to know we are finding humane ways to study animals xD

  • @xrxelementxrx

    I believe that they had to capture the turtle and bring her on board the boat to clean her shell so the webcam could be attached.

    Next thing you know, they will sign up the turtle with a YouTube account.

  • LOL (: wouldn't be surprised.

  • lol!

  • I like turtles!

  • Wow. I got a video recorded in Port Aransas, Texas of a sea turtle just devouring a jellyfish. I thought this was common but I feel badass that I got a video of it now.

  • Well, we'd have to know more details, but I did a bit of reading about sea turtles recently because my son is into them. Anyway, of the several varieties of sea turtles, some are well known to munch on jellyfish, while others were believed to be herbivores. I think it's the green sea turtle specifically that is at issue in this video.

  • mmmmm JELLYFISH

    -_-

  • she just dove in and like threw the turtle on the boat like it was nothing .....

  • I like Turtles. I like Starfish. I like fishys. .__________.

  • Comment removed

  • I like turtles, too.

  • This video sparks a few questions. These are just food for thought i guess

    1. does the algae die off or shrink when the water gets cold? And if so would the algae be the controlling variable of this species' population?

    2. What caused the green turtle to get onto the endangered species list, the algae or man made issues?

    To be honest this video raised more questions then it answered. That tends to be the way of these videos though

  • 1.The man is to blame for the droping of species's pop..

    2. The man caused it..

  • gives proof to support your claim please -_- saying man did it just want cut it you have to prove your claim.

  • lol.... pollution? maybe? oh wait habitat destruction, also overpopulation, etc.. do i really have to give u proofs?

  • woo for 4:22

  • Poor turtle haha, they just grab it out of the water and say HERE PUT DIS HEER CAM ON YER BAK!

  • I would like to know why they can't eat the algae that grows on their sea grass?

    Is it poisonous or something.

  • I'm surprised that they are surprised! I've seen turtles eat jelly's while diving in the Caribbean.

  • I like Turtles .__.

  • i wonder, when you watch discovery channel in your house (if you watch it) do you start arguing with people around you?

  • haha i wouldn't call it arguing but it sure is very confusing trying to understand everyone's point

  • How many animal vids are there on Youtube that DON"T start a ridiculous "debate" on religion?

  • Never Seen them eat JellyFish. how is it not that their toughs don't get stung.

  • There is nothing to gain from condemning modern religion. It's not right to criticize people who do not believe too. Religious tolerance is to be important for everyone.

    You can believe in evolution and religion at the same time because almost all major religions are very vague. They give you what you need to know, not every detail. Who needs to know how much time passed before Adam was created? Perhaps evolution used a test to create the most powerful organism? There is hardly hard specifics.

  • i;m waiting on the hard evidence of a missing link of something even close..... no, the Earth is ~4.5 billion years old, i completely agree with that. I don't buy into THEORIES that science cannot even prove.

    Why can't I have my religion and science on the same plate? Or are you that narrow minded?

  • narrow minded ...

  • Feedmadcat.....you are the first and thus far ONLY person that get is....thank you for being an open minded person an kind to boot!! :D

  • turtles are interesting

  • this book of god that you all speak of is a great story telling piece, great fairy tales , some sad, some humorous, and some just really informative, see the bible can be taken in many different ways, its all in how you people interpret the stories and relate them to your everyday lives , and the people that actually believe god wants us to read this book , i missed that memo sorry , you all are just gullible!

  • PRIMORDIAL OOZE!!?!? Talk about pushing an uneducated agenda!!! "ALL LIFE CAME FROM IT....."....wtf ever...

  • It's a very old phrase. Your trying to pretend that an old phrase and an old concept is pushing an uneducated agenda, shows that you are the one pushing the uneducated agenda. 

    So you believe what? That dinosaurs roamed the earth 6,000 years ago? Did the Roman Empire have a dinosaur army?

  • Out of the thousands of years of historical text (biblical or not) There is NO record of any animal "evolving". Man has never seen "evolution". Pretty much every other scientific phenomenon "known" to have happened in prehistoric times, we have been able to witness on one scale or another as humans. There is NO solid scientific PROOF that evolution happens or happened. It's all speculation.

  • :] this video is about a sea turtle and its eating habits. where the fuck did god and evolution come in?

  • If there's anything about the whole argument between evolution and creation that pisses me off its the fact that people argue about it on youtube.

  • So you believe in the fairytale about adam and eve that was written a long time ago by people who needed a way to explain how the world came to be? Ancient Chinese believes the was created by a giant elephant, whos to say thats not true?

    The b ible is just a book, sorry you were brainwashed growing up believing in fairytales.

  • I believe it takes more faith to believe in the stupidity that is "evolution" than any ancient religion.

  • So the same people who take us to space, clone animals, find cures for various illnesses, etc, are wrong about the history of live on earth?

    Bible mentions nothing about Dinosaurs or the life that came soon afterwards. Why? The Bible was written BEFORE the first fossils were discovered in the 1800's.

    Even though I am an Athiest I have read the bible. Have you ever read up on Evolution to get their point of view or do you just shrug it off without even knowing the their side of the picture?

  • The bible does mention dinosaurs, read the book of Job and of the "behemoth". It had a tail like a cedar tree.

    WHAT ANIMAL ALIVE TODAY HAS A TAIL LIKE A CEDAR TREE.

  • hell yah!

  • Its just a phrase. Like 'Eyes like pearls' or 'Hair like silk' I know you've been brainwashed growing up and I understand that, but PLEASE open your eyes. The 'Dark Ages' was the result of Religion, no progress in technology was made. The Inquisition is was also the result of religion.

    You see, your purposly ignoring the facts and trying to find the tiniest loophole. YOu dont wanna see the truth. If god were real He'd not hide from us. He would talk to us as he did everyone in the bible.

  • You're the one looking at history through a little looking glass, I'm talking about the present. Everything you're saying is programmed into you because everything you know is of your religion and belief system.

    There's no evidence to back up what you say but all evidence points to God being real.

    If not, why even bother to talk about it? Because deep down, the question is still in your mind, and it bothers you.

    You run from the truth, but you can't hide.

  • It doesnt bother me at all. YOu say there is no evidence other then the fact that we know the earth is millions of years old, but you refuse to believe that saying there is no way they can figure that out. They can put a man on the moon but cant date the age of the earth?

    If you were raised beliving a can of Pespi was a god, you would believe it because thats what you were taught. The same thing with god.
