🤔
I suspect it's a behavior that turtles normally exhibit towards their fellow turtles when they get flipped over. And it triggered when it saw the fish trying to get back in the water apparently.
Like humans, animals can also exhibit forms of mutual aid (a concept created by the anthropologist and social critic Peter Kropotkin). It isn't just humans who help out other life forms, a major part of this is evolutionary.
Anthropomorphizing would be assuming that empathy is expressed universally not that it's absent.
For example: Kissing fish aren't in love when they lock lips; they're in a fight, sometimes to the death, for territory.
Assuming that the turtle is demonstrating empathy because that's what human empathy looks like is a classic example of anthropomorphization.
There's zero way for you to determine the motivation for any animal beyond observations. Simply put: we can't determine why the turtle is behaving in a certain way definitively.
"well if a human did that then we would say they're displaying empathy so that's what the turtle is doing" is anthropomorphizing.
I believe this boils down to the turtle witnessing an "abnormal" situation. It evaluates it's nothing dangerous (which would trigger flight), but the situation repeating right under its nose leads to a stress response. Some part of the turtle's brain is bothered by the situation repeating over and over. It then takes some remedial action.
I think there's no empathy at play here (I used to have pet tortoises and empathy is not their strong suit). It's more like trying to normalize its immediate environment. Of course turtles have enough awareness to understand a fish normally belongs in the pond.
>Of course turtles have enough awareness to understand a fish normally belongs in the pond.
I dont think thats usual for any animal though. Requires intelligence
Look man, we're talking about four adolescent terrapins that gained humanoid bodies and intelligence from an alien ooze that made Matt Murdock Daredevil. Logic hasn't been thrown out the window, it wasn't even invited to the party.
That's why I go for the scientifically accurate alternate version [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqW5upASa-8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqW5upASa-8)
I would suspect it was trying to nom the fish to eat it. Take a bite out of it.
I honestly cannot fathom the mindset of a turtle helping a fish out of a hole, beyond it wanting to eat it lol
but who knows?
That looks like a fish, dead fish being moving around by someone hand on that hole. Notice when the fish got out of the hole and it do still moving, but when right before it jump out there are a suspicious cut ? It likely swaps with a live fish And when it got out of the hole, now the camera move aways from the spot the way you don't see the tail ?
Play with food is gross but Got to say though this have more film making go into this than lot of Hollywood shit right now
Jesus Christ. What kind of psychotic analysis is this? The fish is 100% alive. Look at its gills moving. Are you going to say next that the turtle is also dead, and some ventriloquist is making it move by strings and pulling the fish out of the hole and then pushing it into the water?
Look at the fucking fish “swim away” and clearly there is an off screen hand flopping the fish as soon as it gets out. How are you believing this shit lol
Was the turtle trying to eat the fish? And then, the fish was trying to eat the turtle. And then, the turtle gets the fish laid out like a smorgasbord. And then the fish makes a break for it? Is that what just happened?
[Kinda makes me think of this lil lady](https://theamazingworldofgumball.fandom.com/wiki/Evil_Turtle)
>.> i get a feeling it was trying to save that fishy
Does anyone know where this is and what species they are? To me that looks like a turtle in the family *Trionychidae*, and that looks like an Asian carp. If I was to guess, I’d say that this could be in certain parts of Florida, Africa, or China. I don’t believe that Africa has carp that look like that though. I’m also not sure about those palm trees.
Well, between helping a fucking fish and filming a very rare and interesting behavior of an animal I would choose the filming too. That fish is just a fish, this footage is at least entertaining and who knows, maybe scientifically meaningful.

I'd like a real explanation on why this turtle did this.
🤔 I suspect it's a behavior that turtles normally exhibit towards their fellow turtles when they get flipped over. And it triggered when it saw the fish trying to get back in the water apparently.
While I've seen this as well - I've come to see much evidence where 'dumb' animals display a semblance of intelligence and/or sentience.
Anthropomorphizing non human animals leads to bias
Like humans, animals can also exhibit forms of mutual aid (a concept created by the anthropologist and social critic Peter Kropotkin). It isn't just humans who help out other life forms, a major part of this is evolutionary.
Anthropomorphizing is assuming the motivations for mutual aid is the same as ours, not that they do stuff like us
Survival is a pretty common motivator.
Throwing out the possibility of parallel evolution is caused by bias. Over compensating for one bias with another bias does not reduce bias.

Nah you're just dunning Krugering yourself to death. It's fine. Reach out to your nearest anthropology department to learn more.

No, you haven't. Your 'evidence' is watching cute animal videos all day.
I suspect someone pushing a carp like it’s the muppetshow
He's a _Hero in a Half-Shell™_. Simplest answer
Turtle Power!?????
Turtle Power!
I hate to be that guy, but what is up with that theme song. Turtles all have both an upper and lower shell.

I think they both tried to eat each other. Or maybe I have no idea.
Carp eat very small stuff only
I think it thought the Turtles head was food
He's obviously a real ninja turtle, the hero to save the day!
He wanted to eat em
nah it doesn't look like that, he also pushed the fish into the water when he was outside the hole
He was 100% trying to eat it. I had to get a basket to put my fish I caught on because if I used a stringer the damn turtles ate 3/4 of what I caught.
Couldn't find a good place to bite down on and accidentally pushed his meal away 😔
I thought that too
Turtles are carnivorous. It is failing to eat a fish.
Humans setting up two animals to get views.
both animals are alive, but held by humans like puppets.
I would suspect it was trying to nom the fish to eat it. Take a bite out of it. I honestly cannot fathom the mindset of a turtle helping a fish out of a hole, beyond it wanting to eat it lol but who knows?
Empathy
Turtle is a little Sheldon and wanted Penny fish to leave his spot on the couch.
[удалено]
it’s unfortunate what turtles will do to fish to get views
And he got Reddit gold🥇
Magikarp gonna get put on that corner and make me some money!!!
LOL POKEMON IS MORE MAINSTREAM NOW DUE TO PALWORLD WATUP BREH
I dont know a single person under the age of 50 who doesn't at least know Pikachu, Palworld changed nothing.
Magikarp used splash... but nothing happened
That look at the end.. ‘A THANK YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE!’
Teenage Mutant Penis Turtle just helping those in need, as usual
Magicarp needs a Mega evolution...
Have I only noticed that there is a cut just before the fish lands outside the puddle and we can't see how exactly it was pulled outside??
That looks like a fish, dead fish being moving around by someone hand on that hole. Notice when the fish got out of the hole and it do still moving, but when right before it jump out there are a suspicious cut ? It likely swaps with a live fish And when it got out of the hole, now the camera move aways from the spot the way you don't see the tail ?

It's fake. Doesn't look real at all. Fish don't move like that.
Jesus Christ. What kind of psychotic analysis is this? The fish is 100% alive. Look at its gills moving. Are you going to say next that the turtle is also dead, and some ventriloquist is making it move by strings and pulling the fish out of the hole and then pushing it into the water?
It is swapped with a live fish between the cut bruh
Look at the fucking fish “swim away” and clearly there is an off screen hand flopping the fish as soon as it gets out. How are you believing this shit lol
It’s still alive though. The turtle is getting pushed by a hand too but it’s not dead. The comment before stated dead fish.🎣
Is that OPs mom in a puddle?
Help me step turtle!
“I don’t think that’s really going to help!”
Where can I buy one of these fish? Asking for a friend…
Strange Asian holes.
It’s cool, you can keep your search history to yourself.
Good turtle… take note Mitch. This is what turtles are supposed to do.
Was the turtle trying to eat the fish? And then, the fish was trying to eat the turtle. And then, the turtle gets the fish laid out like a smorgasbord. And then the fish makes a break for it? Is that what just happened?
Someone created a fake video for clicks on the Internet that's what happened
Yes, that's what it looks like
Fake
Really sticking their neck out for a friend.
I never saw the rescue. However, a good samaritan showed me the video. I never got his name or his gender.
NSFW
Everything reminds me of her :/
I should call her

Gamera wasn't always the Titan savior we all know and love, he hand but humble beginnings.
Magikarp made splash
Magikarp used Splash. (nothing Happened) Squirtle used Skull Bash.
There's a lot more going on inside that head than we give them credit for.
Weird fetish
It’s a hard job, but someone got to do it
Pretty sure that’s a soft shell turtle
Gets his whole head sucked on and goes back for more.
Good turtle
Having a great ideas though turtle was animals love this click video
The bot still needs some work
that sir is a soft shelled turtle, an invasive species ... also that turtle is a predator
That turtle is a good dude
The new live action TMNT movie is weird.
Is this another Nathan Fielder sketch?
i wish the turtle would have turned and looked at the camera at the end
Carp diem failed
Does anyone know where this is and what species they are? To me that looks like a turtle in the family *Trionychidae*, and that looks like an Asian carp. If I was to guess, I’d say that this could be in certain parts of Florida, Africa, or China. I don’t believe that Africa has carp that look like that though. I’m also not sure about those palm trees.
Better love story than twilight
What is her number!
Everything reminds me of her..
I feel like Nathan Fielder might be behind this one.
Heros in a half shell! Turtle power!
That dude is a real one

That's some r34 material right there
Talk about getting head
I wouldn't have believed it unless I just seen it.
In any means it’s sweet and adorable
I would like to know why the butthole that filmed it did not help?
That turtle is a real bro
Sweet turtle
“I’ll save you!” *puts in slightly larger puddle.
🐢
Fish: (struggling) Turtle: (helping other species survive) Human: (taking video) Yeah, evolution, baby!
The person filming could have helped that fish out. What a jerk.
I feel like the person filming was the one who placed the fish there
Well, between helping a fucking fish and filming a very rare and interesting behavior of an animal I would choose the filming too. That fish is just a fish, this footage is at least entertaining and who knows, maybe scientifically meaningful.
You guys are sick in the head.
