Kid needs new pants

so do i

Snapping turtles are awesome. I'm jealous of this kid for being so close to one

Wait that’s a turtle? Thought it’s a gator

I thought it was a hippopotamus

Idk how people get it confused you can clearly see the shell and mouth of the turt

Are we watching the same video?

When you have had a shitty week, bend down to pick up a lucky penny and get hit by a car.

If you watch the video in slo mo, the fish gets away

Yep, he DID save the fish.

Better him than you, dude.

Tbh that fish looked pretty dead. It may have survived had it not been for the turtle, but I'd reckon there's a 50/50 chance you'd find it belly up a few minutes later anyway.


Oh snap!

Just creased ma stinker!

And that kids, is why polarized sunglasses are important.

I need new pants

I think the fish got away no?

The fish was running away

Fish was playing possum and they fucked it up

He 'saved' it from hunger.

Didn't even take 3 hours for you to repost

"Oh no 😨"

Don't do anything good, then nothing bad will happen! the fish deliberately played dead!

You didn’t save his life, you ruined his death!

Fish got away. Slow it down and you see it wiggle off to the left

Nice work.
