I've been scuba diving and seen one of these in real life. I was well ahead of my buddy in a series of crevices, about 50-60 feet down. The surface was rough and super choppy making visibility at the top very bad. I was swimming out of a crevice at the bottom, took a corner and looked left and above me, there was a boulder about 10 feet above me and this monster. I remember just looking and staring trying to understand what I was looking at. I'd been diving for years at that point, with hundreds and hundreds of hours of experience. Yet this shocked me more than anything else I'd seen at the time. I was basically looking at a small car underwater and couldn't fully grasp the size and scale until I got to the beach and processed it.
Yes, it’s a Leatherback Sea Turtle. They primarily eat jellyfish and have [spikes in their mouth/throat](https://images.app.goo.gl/QajoaUUeW75UBThc9). Hella cool, beautiful animals.
They just Yada Yada’d from the swamp to the ocean.
It was after the turtle had spent the night her ex-mates house.
I got the walk of shame vibe too
You can't just yada yada a turtle trip!

That’s one big tartuga
These dumb asses are literally just leaning on that turtle, they're not helping at all.
I do get the impression the turtle’s doing the bulk of the work here…
Way to cut out at the best part lol
Probably twice older than my gramp's..... and still young
Prolly trying to outrun turt crushin' Mario
Evil snake
How does this even happen?
Water levels go down due to tides or whatever
Google Maps told it to go left on Highway 22
I'm getting Cannibal Holocaust flashbacks 😳
Ah amazing
Any of these where someone doesn't ride the turtle makes me happy.
Master oogoi
I remember those they are called .....oh yeah right it you're/your momma
Leatherbacks are incredible and I’m sad for some reason.
The shark that found that had a dam three course wrapped all in a nice crunchy shell
Yeah but how much soup did they get from it ?
did you think this was funny or something?
Ur right, why make soup when you can have eggs for years
what would possibly possess you to eat a turtle egg...?
OP couldn’t even be bothered to figure out what type of sea turtle it is for their post. Enjoy the easy karma tho
Do you know what kind of turtle it is?
Leatherback?
Yup!

They couldn’t even be bothered to include what type of turtle it is in their critique.
