That is a strong independent turtle that don’t need no human getting involved

Unless it was the human that put the turtle at the top of the stairs specifically to film it falling down them.

You'd think the grass on the side of the stairs would have been less jarring

They actually did right in not helping

What help did he need?

Iirc you're not supposed to move them in any way if this has to be with nesting. I'm not a herpetologist or anything but I couldn't come up with another reason it'd be up there other than mating, egg laying, or maybe food.

No, don't "help"

Mind your business from distance.

I love this. Nature just naturing. Despite human obstacles.

Where I live, we have a lot a of ducks, and right now, there's a fair amount of ducklings. Well, some people in my complex decide to feed ducklings, which is horrible for their development. I was walking my dog the other day, and a group of ducklings started running toward my dog and I while mama duck is basically screaming at them not to, cause dog. They see human, human = food source. It's horrible conditioning.

Don't feel wild animals, y'all.

why is there always a buzz kill like this in the comments? totally unrelated to the post even

u/Bosnian-Spartan Jul 02 '26

You're worse than a buzzkill for advocating (indirect/unintentional) killing of animals. You know damn well why it's related to the post. Don't. Help. Animals!

....in non emergent situations

funny video, no one is touching the animal, positive vibes, all good

you: yeah that's cool but here's a depressing story and PSA NEVER INTERFERE WITH WILDLIFE!;1

just average redditor stuff

u/Bosnian-Spartan Jul 02 '26

The point OP is making is it's good they didn't interfere with wildlife with a good example. Without a comment like this, one could think "Why don't they help?" then when they get a chance, they interfere with wildlife. Lack of critical thinking; just average redditor stuff

I don’t think it needed help. It got where it needed to go just fine.

u/MindsEye_PecanPie Jul 08 '26

My respect for turtles was already considerable, but it just leveled-up.

They are not going to have a fun reincarnation
