00:00 On a beautiful day, when everyone is enjoying a peaceful life, from afar, dark clouds rise.
00:07 Signalling a disaster is about to happen to the people here.
00:11 When people become small and helpless before, the dark forces are trying to dominate.
00:17 The true heroes have stood out to protect humanity.
00:21 It is not these heroes that we often see, but these heroes.
00:26 What is it?
00:27 Hey, how weird it looks from the outside.
00:31 Those are the Ninja Turtles.
00:34 Yes, our topic today is about these turtle guys.
00:39 I mean of course I'm not talking about these turtle friends.
00:42 As far as I can see, these turtle guys don't need to be afraid of any opponent, be it a
00:48 rhino or a wild boar.
00:50 Isn't it like that in the movie?
00:52 How about in real life?
00:54 Here it is.
00:55 Those turtles are also very bloody.
00:58 All animals make enemies.
01:00 Even with snakes, and sometimes even venomous snakes, they don't mind.
01:06 Today I invite you to follow me to the battle between the turtles and the snakes, as it
01:11 seems that this battle will cause a lot of curiosity for you.
01:14 A close up of the battle between turtles and snakes.
01:19 Tortoises vs snakes.
01:21 It sounds unlikely, but it happens quite often.
01:25 Let's prepare a cup of coffee and let's find out together.
01:28 So let's go through some basic information about turtles.
01:32 Some tortoise families includes reptiles with many different species, such as the normal
01:37 tortoise, a snapping turtle, the wattle-necked soft-shelled turtle, the olive ridley sea
01:42 turtle and the hawk-billed sea turtle.
01:46 They often live in the seabed, rivers, streams, lagoons, lakes and ponds.
01:51 It is very good at diving and can stay at the bottom of the water for hours.
01:57 Turtles are voracious but slow to grow.
02:00 In the natural environment, turtles eat mainly animals such as zooplankton, insects, shrimps,
02:07 crabs, fish etc.
02:09 They eat very well in the summer, and turtles are aggressive like many other carnivores.
02:16 Quite shy, tortoises can often flee when they hear noises or people and animals pass by.
02:24 When hungry, they tend to eat each other and sometimes when one is injured and bleeds,
02:29 the others swarm and brutally bite.
02:32 Turtles are very long-lived, especially sea turtles.
02:35 If it is favourable environments, they can live up to several hundred years.
02:40 This is extremely interesting and a lovely trait in turtles.
02:45 And it is the turtles that have the ability to find the source where they were born.
02:50 In China, there is a rumoured true story that happened.
02:55 A turtle after 40 years went through 7,749 releases.
03:01 Ten times, but each time in a different place, and far away from the old place.
03:07 But all ten times, it finds its way back to its burial by its navel.
03:12 Kingdom land is a bunch of sweet star fruit, isn't it?
03:16 Because the owner has engraved on this turtle shell the year of release and the owner's
03:21 name.
03:22 It is easy to find and recognise.
03:25 This is an instinctive behaviour of animals and is also influenced by parts of the environment
03:30 such as humanity, light, climate and food sources.
03:36 Turtles are also very good at enduring hunger.
03:40 The reason is that because of slow movement, turtles find it very difficult to find prey
03:45 and for a long term a lack of food.
03:49 Therefore, when favourable, they will take advantage of every opportunity to create an
03:54 abundant reserve of energy to apply the body when hungry.
04:00 They can lie still for a long time, not moving, like a corpse without a soul, and self-generating
04:06 and self-destructing.
04:07 Haha, just kidding, they do this to keep their metabolisms as low as possible, in order to
04:14 consume very little energy.
04:17 When catching sea turtles, people have the impression that turtles cry because its tears
04:22 fall into drops.
04:24 This is the phenomenon of excreting too much salt in the turtle's body.
04:29 Due to long term living in seawater, the turtle's body has a lot of salt to adapt to the living
04:34 environment.
04:37 Those are some basics about turtles.
04:39 What about snakes?
04:42 Snakes are carnivorous reptiles, with a long round body, stacked scales covering their
04:47 entire body.
04:49 And most snakes usually live in mountainous areas, because there are more favourable environmental
04:54 factors and less impact by humans.
04:58 However, some snake species have private habitats, such as sea snakes living in the ocean, flower
05:05 snakes living near freshwater areas, green vipers, whip snakes and climbing snakes that
05:11 often live in trees.
05:13 Each species has a unique need for shelter and protection.
05:18 When in water, snakes swim horizontally, while on land, snakes crawl by coordinating the
05:24 movements of the abdominal scales and abdominal muscles.
05:29 Most snakes are actively looking for prey.
05:32 The earth pythons, or brocade pythons, often lie in one place, opening their mouths to
05:38 wait for the bad guys to come by themselves.
05:41 At a distance, snakes use their eyes to observe prey.
05:46 Like children at close range, they will use their nose and tongue to identify the source
05:50 of food.
05:51 After gently approaching the prey, the snakes will suddenly use its mouth to attack, and
05:57 release venom to the venomous species, or wrap and squeeze the prey so that it can't
06:03 breathe and move until it dies.
06:06 However, most snakes are not venomous, and they usually stay away from humans and only
06:12 attack when provoked.
06:14 It feels like snakes are more adventurous, intelligent and agile in hunting.
06:20 But you have to step into the battle to know who is the winner.
06:24 This is a snake, he is wandering in search of prey.
06:28 Passed many places, but still have not found the prey.
06:32 Snakes scour every nook and cranny, through many grooves and trees, blades of grass, passing
06:37 through rocky crevices, by the stream, he could not find any prey.
06:42 Not even a mouse, a frog or another small snake.
06:47 It seems that on the shore this season is too scarce for food.
06:51 And on the shore, if you don't have it, then you have to dive into the water.
06:56 A difficult search for food, and so the snake decided to plunge into the deep water.
07:03 Not long after diving, the snake was attacked by a turtle.
07:07 It seems hard to believe, but it is a turtle.
07:10 It's a huge alligator snapping turtle.
07:13 This big turtle is attacking the snake's tail.
07:16 Dubbed the monster turtle, the alligator snapping turtle became the terror of many aquatic creatures.
07:23 Their shells have three rows of spines.
07:27 These rows of spines contain many sensitive nerve endings.
07:30 And the shells are often covered with algae, making them easy to camouflage when underwater.
07:37 They have a unique appearance with a scary body that is linked to a modern version of
07:42 a dinosaur.
07:44 The jaw has no teeth, but the jawline looks like a crocodile with sharp ridges protruding
07:50 from the front jaw.
07:52 With a force of 480 kg per square inch, the alligator snapping turtle can break the shells
07:59 of many other turtles for food.
08:01 Then a snake with a soft body will be nothing compared to this turtle with sharp teeth like
08:06 a guillotine.
08:08 Although the snake writhed trying to escape, the turtle still firmly bit the tail, causing
08:13 the prey to lose blood and become exhausted.
08:17 The flesh was gradually torn and separated.
08:21 It was painful to look at, as the snake really couldn't hold it any longer, and so took back
08:27 for the wolf's tail.
08:28 The snake finally accepted the fate of becoming a delicious prey for the crocodile turtle,
08:35 leaving without a word.
08:37 That's how it was in the water, and when it came ashore, how was the hunting trip?
08:43 Because the opponent was not the same as the snake famous for its venom.
08:48 This snake is the taipan.
08:51 With just one bite, the turtle can die in a few hours later.
08:54 It seems that we are too used to hunting snakes, so our turtles are not afraid.
09:01 But confidently, face after attack after attack is extremely fast, but not after succeeding
09:08 in a solid defense of the turtle.
09:11 The taipan snake is a careless moment, put his head into the turtle's mouth.
09:17 Just waiting for that, the turtle quickly used his jaw to lock the snake's head inside
09:22 his mouth.
09:24 What a greater art of hunting.
09:26 The ability to dodge attacks and a little luck.
09:30 The turtle had delicious meals without having to attack the opponent.
09:35 It's very surprising ending, isn't it?
09:37 The natural world is so interesting and colorful.
