TIL Turtles Can Climb Tree
This is the craziest thing I have learnt in a while. And if I didn't see it in a video I would never believe it.
So...Turns out turtles can climb fucking trees 😂
Well, not all species are capable of this feat but some are..And they are quite good at it.
Like this little fella climbing a fucking telephone pole, which I assume is much more difficult than a tree since it has a smoother surface and no branches to hold on:
Some even climb fences, like this one 😅
And this one
And if you though a turtle climbing a tree or a fence was crazy then watch this:
And some even climb walls, lmao
A turtle...Climbing a fucking wall 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Funnily, I am the owner of a small plot of land that is heavily fenced. The fence is super new, tall and 100 % intact with no holes.
Over the years I have occasionally encountered turtles in it and I always took them out with care...And I always wondered how the fuck they managed to get in... I figured they dug a tunnel or whatever but now I know 😆
In case you wonder, not all turtle species are capable of climbing, as many simply lack the combination of sharp claws and powerful limbs.
But those that do can use this super power to access new places with food or to avoid predators. As expected, falls are quite common and often come with injuries that can be lethal.
As a result this is a behavior they rarely indulge in...And this is why you probably haven't seen a climbing turtle 😅
Maybe teenage mutant ninja turtles was based on a true story? 😅😆

Wow! I had no clue they could do this. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
😂😆
I've seen all your videos, in the second one I wonder if she's alive or NOT, these turtles should NOT forget what they are, turtles, NOT cats, the blows when they fall are strong, and I would say dangerous.
The one in the third video falls a little better and even looks at the camera, but the one on the wall, if she falls, she's going to hit hard.
Oh yeah, the one on the wall is doomed lol
Simply amazing, and watch that one doesn't get to your !BEER
😅😆😆😂😂
I thought they would never think of climbing over the fence. It turns out they have good intelligence.
They are evolving 😂
I never would’ve guessed turtles had this kind of determination. I'm wondering how many other creatures have secret skills we don’t notice because we assume they can’t do it. GOATED for life haha respect to the turtle
Wow! Ninja turtles are real!
It is amazing to see that a tortoise can climb a tree and a fence.
Wow, I didn't even know that some turtles can climb :)
I think I'm as amazed as you are, now I know how my tortoise escaped.
Hehe
I would never have believed it if I didn’t see those videos. That’s crazy….. we mainly have box turtles where I live and I know they don’t climb…..🤣

Ahhh. Poor turtle. Like the dog that caught the car. I don't think those turtles have long-range plans😇
Yeah, dunno about the one climbing the telephone pole. What was it thinking lol 😂
Lol I didn't know they could, doesn't look like the typical zoo turtle tough

I didn't know they could climb, but I guess its a part of evolution. They have stronger limbs and claws so they make the most of it to survive.
