Hawaiian Honu

[richartrod]

Mahalo for this video. The honu are loud when they bob their heads up and inhale fresh air. But their bodies are very efficient in using every bit of oxygen in their bloodstream so they can stay underwater from 15 minutes to even two hours before exhaling, depending on their metabolism.

That was amazing, mahalo for posting this.

Gorgeous video!

Sea turtles are such amazing, interesting beings. It disturbs me to know how quickly their numbers are declining. I was in Florida the past week and was saddened to see tons of garbage floating all over in the ocean =[

[SimpleThingsOfLife]

5/5 ;-)

[soheiljerusalem]

These ancient creatures are so beautiful . they are as much entitled to live on earth as we the humans do . we all belong to mother Earth equally . Sadly , this greedy selfish ape Man does not want to realize it ...

[Maysey1]

Beautiful video. Thank you for taking action. Did it help? Did Bush do anything for these beautiful creatures? Peace,...Mark

[Bflatblues55]

This is magnificent! At 2:53 ... so beautiful!

I'm a bit of a turtle fanatic ... admittedly. I have adopted a loggerhead (female) that has been tracked in the Florida Keys. She's lovely. I also care for dozens upon dozens of local freshwater (painted) turtles in their own environment.

I'm ever-amazed by them ... and I also love that you captured their huge exhale upon exiting the water! SUPER footage here!

[RocheZoola]

Beautiful

[seaweed2007]

C'mon, shake it, shh-shake it,

shake it like a loggerhead flippah! ; )

Very nice vid! Toitles make me smile! :))

[Gail274]

Wow! Such beautiful creatures and so peaceful. Thanks.

[metalmarkholland]

Hi, lovely video, did you film it yourself?

I once went diving near Byron bay in Australia. There are this small islands named Julian Rocks I believe. The divemaster said: I have a big surprise for you. He showed me an underwater cave and gestured, go in. I looked in that cave and there was this enormous seaturtle. It was much larger than I am and I think it was a Leatherback, not sure. Really scary that large beek. Sharkie did not enter the cave, hehe :-)

[PhilosopherFresh]

beautiful creatures!

[PurpleHazeGoofyGrape]

Super way Cool! tht was Awesome!

[Beardedyoungman]

hehe it's sounds so neat when they come up for air. What are they doing on the side? Are they getting food or they're just resting but like to keep their heads under water?

Thanks for sharing how to help them:)

[Krylogenic]

Fantastic video! I know that the green seaturtle you have filmed is protected (at least in Hawaii) but I just do not understand why our gov't must wait for a steep decline before taking action...

[sngrmnsthsm]

Thanks so much Fishgal! Yes good foresight and prevention is the best action I always say. You ROCK!!

[mdchang98]

Thats so cool.Love turtles myself.I raised a wee baby aquatic painted turtle,found him all alone in the old barn behind the house.

Had him about 4 years than released him in a local pond where other species of his kind lived.Cool vid. :}

[sngrmnsthsm]

Thanks so much Arden for your sweet response!

That little Turtle was very lucky that you found him and saved him! You ROCK My Friend!!

[DolpthinsCome2Wales]

You're welcome and Thank You so much for your kind note and thanks also for your wonderful vids that you have left here! You ROCK!! :)

[Quetzie21]

thank you, fabulous footage of these amazing creatures. thank you for the links to oceana, I willgo there now. i live the Gulf of Mexico, when I first moved here this area was not overly developed and we had turtles laying their eggs on the beach, but the developers moved in and then the high rises and condos and no more turtles...so sad. i have subbed to you!!!!

[sngrmnsthsm]

Wow! Thank you sooo very much my Friend and the Turtles especially Thank You! So sad about what the development did to the Turtle population where you live. They are very sensitive creatures. May be you can get involved with reintrooducing them to the area?

I think that You ROCK!! Thanks again!

~Peace and Harmony with Turtle Hugs

[fjordland]

I see you like Turtles and New Zealand

this clip posted has both

[sngrmnsthsm]

Thanks so much for your comment and most awesome video! I loved Turtle Rock and would love to ride it someday too! You guys ROCK!!

[knutervalve64]

all of gods creatures are beautiful as so the land

but truthfully only a small portion of peeps will actually contribute to such a cause to save anything other than their own hides

[sngrmnsthsm]

Not necessarily my Friend. A lot of people have contributed to many causes such as these in order to help protect The Earth's Creatures and have risked their own hides in doing so and will continue to do so.

To remain pessimistic about it only promotes apathy unfortunately.

Thank you for your comment.

~Peace and Harmony with Turtle Hugs :)

[knutervalve64]

You are right

it's just from what ive been seen lately dont give me a termendous ammount of faith

but perhapps it will overcome itself one day thanks for listenin

[sngrmnsthsm]

Anytime My Friend and thanks for your support!

You ROCK!! ~Peace be with you

[knutervalve64]

keep pushin on -

[sngrmnsthsm]

P.S. Pass it on! :)

[nowellian]

Love your video! Guess you know plastic bags are killing millions of marine animals.

Oil based consumer products are killing animals around the world. Nuclear waste is the largest threat of all.

Green Party!

[sngrmnsthsm]

Thanks so much for your kind comment! Yes I do know all about the Plastic Garbage Patch in the Pacific Ocean and about Nuclear waste as well. Check out my favs and playlists and you'll see tons of info. about it! Go Green!

~Peace and Harmony

[sngrmnsthsm]

*Just a little FYI for all to see....

Please don't forget to check out the critical action to take in order to help protect the Atlantic Loggerhead Turtles and get them on the Endangered Species List. You'll find it in the upper right hand corner under the post info. Thanks so much! You All ROCK!!

"Extinction is forever"

Profoundly sad. While these awesome creatures are the oldest living family of reptiles surviving every obstacle nature had hurled at them, sad that the supposedly thinking species are the ones that could cause their termination.

The conscience of people who realized and not do something about it are liable. Thanks to people like Katherine, Wally, Trish and Mark, they make it easier to redeem ourselves... signing petition.*****

[sngrmnsthsm]

Thank you so much for taking action on this critical issue and the turtles thank you too!

~Peace

[sngrmnsthsm]

Please speak out for turtles by sending a letter.

Hurry - comments will only be accepted until May 5, 2008.

Each year hundreds of thousands of sea turtles are injured or killed in commercial fisheries. Humans are largely responsible for driving sea turtles to the brink of extinction, and it's up to us to save these majestic, ancient creatures by speaking out on their behalf -- before it's too late.

Extinction is forever.

[ntheoret]

Ok, done. Went to the site of Oceana and signed the petition, even if I live in Quebec, Canada.

All creatures have their place in this world of ours.

[sngrmnsthsm]

Thank you sooo much!! I truly appreciate it and so do the turtles! One person can make a difference! For every one else, there is a quick link up above under my channel link, under "more info" to take action on this issue. Thanks again for every thing that you do to make a difference in this world.

~Peace

[sngrmnsthsm]

I love turtles! Please help by taking action.

Take Action: Help Protect Sea Turtles!

Help petition the government to help loggerheads recover by formally listing them as an "endangered" species and creating more protections for turtle habitats in the Atlantic.

The two federal agencies charged with protecting loggerheads -- in land and on water -- are now accepting comments from the public on this important issue.

[spotswoodthenewt]

I know this is in the Pacific, but loggerheads are up for review right now, so I figured it was OK to put these comments up. Lovely little vid though...5*****'s and a sub from me :) ~ Tim

[sngrmnsthsm]

Thank you so much!! I think that this is the perfect place to notify all of us of upcoming actions to protect these beautiful creatures! I will take action on this iisue right away & look forward to everyone doing the same. Thank you for everything that you do to make a difference in this world. One person can make a difference!

Happy Earth Day!

~Peace

P.S. Let's make Earth Day happen every day!!
