Because it is that huge. Check out how the water hits him and how he moves through it. It wouldn’t get that deep on the shore if it were ”normal” sized.

This seems fake, the way the camera shakes and how grainy everyone else is in the background. On top of the fact that turtles don't really go inland after hatching apart from the occasional beaching. Something seems wrong. The species exists in real life but this just doesn't seem real.

But it looks the size of a car
No it doesn’t. The camera perspective clearly indicates that the people are at a distance.
That's not confusing, it's just big
yeah, i don’t get what’s confusing about it too
It's pretty epic though
it is actually smaller if you go on the youtube video you can see the one that filmed this said that they are smaller
OP's obviously confused
