Raw Video: Wheel Replaces Lost Leg for Tortoise

[Arctic222Avenger]

He needs some chunky offroad rally tyre, not a trackday slick.

[Hashar25]

what a brave soldier they should give him the purple shell.

[Dominus357]

Doesn't look like it helps much, he still relies on his working front leg too much.

[strilight]

Why don't you cut off the rest of its limbs and add treads?

Don't forget the 120mm gun!

[ngbruce1]

Lol parasol

[rafael49885]

Cada coisa que aparece, é difícil até de acreditar...

[Patasup]

This is how the tortoise beat the hare

[x2Vinny2x]

all spark

[TheRosalind67]

Perfect !!!

[toxicwar]

10 dislikes? hmm i was expecting a ton of trolls and angry people on here ._.

but awww poor turtle T.T i hope they make him a cyborg arm someday >x< like in full metal alchemist .x.

[diegomania20]

Awww... How did it lose its leg?

[hercia06]

@diegomania20 was amputated due to an injury.

[flyerholland]

Throw some D's on that biatch!!!

[mustachos1993]

Put some spinners on it and he's boss! :D

[Handygmod]

thats a weird looking lawn mower

[iGangster]

It was.. screwed on.. into his shell...

o_o

[XxKilleredxX]

Put 3 more wheels on him, send him down a half pipe.

[remmus64]

it´s now a cyborg turtle X3

[DiamondDerry]

THEY SEE ME ROLLIN, THEY HATTIN!!

[JoshCA2009]

poor turtle

[InsaneSerialKillerz]

And now we're back with Pimp My Tortoise season 2!

[staphinfection]

Until it gets hair and grass and dirt and shit in that wheel.... then he ain't going nowhere.

Just cook him up for epic meal time, atleast it won't go to waste. Poor guy.

[uutuber431]

seems like the wheel is way too small. the tortoise still has to lift up that part of his body.

[EngineeringMath]

Hi.

This is a very poor design. Why did doctors do this? Instead, engineers (mechanical, biomedical, and robotics engineers) should have done it.

[nekomajin6]

@EngineeringMath this was done by an Engineer. solve a problem the cheapest and easiest way

[Bastiest]

@EngineeringMath I'm sure people are willing to spend half a million for mechanical prosthetic for a turtle.

[mgarib28]

هذا يدل على الرفق بالحيوان الذي تنص عليه جميع الاديان السماوية .

[Sodapopper100]

@mgarib28 Alah agbag

[nekopheliac]

He eats dandelion leaves? Sent him over to do my front yard please!

[helpmakethingsbetter]

You need to get a bigger wheel to support him or put something between the wheel and the shell because the size of this wheel is too small. Please think about this, it will make it easier for the turtle.

[Gmmaverick]

You should put 4 wheels, so it gets a good balance. But smaller, that's too high. And just glued.

[zonelad]

what the fuck bro, thats the best wheel they could find? fucking 2 dollar walmart wheel>>>cheap ass zoo

[bettafishbubble]

that's a small wheel! GIVE HIM A BIG WHEEL!!!

[corksterism]

...Obama ate his leg,....

[100crawma]

@corksterism good one,im at work in a burn unit, a sad place overall, and that made me smile,and for that i thank you

[linkuei83]

wonder how fast this thing goes. But i am glad the turtle does alright and would hope it's kinda happy with it.

[lilgorge619]

The other turtles see him rollin' and they hatin'

[purpleprinc3]

This is how I role...

[biocuts]

this looks horrible... when it'll sleep it will always tilt.. something will always press against his body etc'

[elhefe4]

fake

[PuraVid4]

Wow I wonder who made that design. So useless. Should have used a larger soft rubber wheel instead of the small sphere.

[mastermoua246]

its just not the same...

[boyrune4]

that wheel looks like the one on my chair.

[lolitrolUProductions]

They should cut all the legs off and just 4 wheels

[Etonmessy]

The wheel looks like more of a hindrance than help.

[WindyCityNovelties]

Tonight I dine on turtle soup.

[harzored]

Amazing video, new life.

[roooozz]

This tortoise has been in an environment that is too dry for him. His shield has humbs on them that indicate that. It should be all smooth.

[265CoJ]

I like turtles

[ItKindaSucks]

The tortoise actually wanted a mechanical arm but instead he received a wheel.. It happens...

[Adeel9]

...since when did turtles eat grass?

[Bastiest]

@Adeel9 What did you expect them to eat then? A bowl of rice with ham and spice?

[RaidGamingHD]

This technology has made this turtle 5% faster.

[crus8ers]

THEY see me ROLLING' .....they're hating XD

[coachbrp]

Did one of the Vets have a wheel left from his weekend project? The thing looks bolted on there. Get some carbon fiber and some kind of glue next time.

[staple006]

I love turtles. :)



[MagicSmokeBubble420]

Why the fuck wouldn't you show it on concrete?

[augustosisa]

@MagicSmokeBubble420 Because, turtles doesn't eat concrete.

[MagicSmokeBubble420]

@augustosisa No but the point of it is to show how the wheel works. Obviously it will work in grass. cause he isn't going to be released into the wild and he isn't going to be in the grass forever. He'll eventually go on concrete

[radudeATL]

Should have given it a hook instead...

[joannnes23]

This is awesome. But I'm sure, in terms of prosthetics, that they could have created something more like the tortoises own leg that was more functional than the wheel off a tv cabinet.

[HapooDog]

Go turtle!

[PhucYieuManh]

the wheel seems to roll on the grass very well

[bandero555]

thats where our taxes go!?!?! shame..

[Bastiest]

@bandero555 That wheel was propably 2 dollars out of your tax money.

[Otto4242]

WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY. WE CAN REBUILD HIM.

[JohnF30Music]

they should have just cut both the legs off and put an engine on it and make it an RC turtle!

[augustosisa]

I'm not sure about this... I'm not an expert, but maybe this solution is no useful for the turtle, or maybe is worse for it.

[millenium2003]

why interfere with nature?.... this is outrageous...... Humans playing god.

[OttoCrash]

@millenium2003 LOL-god?

[TheNCWaveMaster]

@millenium2003 dude chill. it's just a wheel.

[Bastiest]

@millenium2003 Playing who?

[mynxiejynxie]

I coulda done that, just wouldn't have known how deep I can put the screws

[Ninja8productions]

i laughed

[breakingthisdown]

Okay, that still looks pretty uncomfortable for'im, though.

[stevenskul]

@breakingthisdown so is missing a leg. now. which is MORE uncomfortable

[breakingthisdown]

@stevenskul Dude, be quiet. I'm just saying that it looks like they need to do a little more innovative thinking for an animal that size.

[cladimere]

wheels aren't enough!!!! give him two water rockets and train him to stand up!!!!

[collector842002]

motorize the his wheel. 

[NillKafka]

Pimp my turtle

[77Aussie]

I hope it isn't one of those trolley wheels, else it's gonna be more trouble than it's worth.

[IronicallyVague]

Thank goodness it wasn't sexually impudent

[jalopy221]

@mattj822 lmao!!

[mattj822]

Off road tire please

[tippitytop1]

the wheel is way to short

they could have used a more appropriate wheel device

and should have

[midnightowl1128]

@tippitytop1 I totally agree! I thought a non-medical person just bolted that thing on. That poor turtle!

[Studd911]

@tippitytop1 I agree, tippitytop1; if they're going to take the time and effort to do something like that, they would have done better if they found a better wheel thing to put on. I guess it was better than to leave it leg-less though. I hope they get back to that turtle with a better substitute.

[ironvin21]

i like turtles.

[ShogaNinja]

it's not a "swiveling wheel" it's called a "caster" since about the beginning of time + 3 years.

[lakc24]

those wheels needs some serious rubber grip for traction, something like bridgestone and michellin might look good on a TV ad for F1 LOL.

[JogBird]

i hope that wheel is rust proof

[LadyStonecut]

He's still very young in the tortoise world. Maybe they will come with something better.

[ModernDayProphets]

Making it more difficult for him. At least in the grass.

[antoshahorosha]

Crap, 5 year old would have better ideas.

[tekknorat]

@antoshahorosha yeah, like what?

[iiQsKiLLusionz]

Why are there two vids for this?

[kiararei]

he is now the coolest tortoise at the skate park

[DeafMuteZombie]

@kiararei assuming he wasnt the only tortoise at the skatepark of course.

[texasfootballhall]

@kiararei I'm worried that, after he has some fun at the skate park, he's going to want to replace his other legs a wheel too.

[kiararei]

@texasfootballhall lol as long as he doesnt want a sun roof and a large motor he should be ok

[slLLyhumans]

Putting a wheel on a turle wont change the world . But it sure will change the world for that turtle .

Well done .

[KeySour]

@slLLyhumans its a tortoise

[blackmassus]

That wheel is to small :(

[valken666]

and how does it fair without the wheel?

[TomassoIII]

now i feel bad poor tortoise

[wwe5lifeveryday]

@TomassoIII me 2 :(

[jacksonshakur]

one more year and it could be a teenage mutant ninja tortoise

[Ahooper11]

this is f******* up

[KaiLuck]

That's SOOOOOO cute! Poor tortoise.
