Their slow waddles back into the lake are everything. Dodo producer, Carolina, put her animal knowledge to good use for this rescue!

00:00We were kayaking in the Ozarks when we spotted this strange box.

00:03Oh, it's moving. It's moving.

00:05What is that?

00:08I think I see a head. It might be a turtle.

00:11Okay, so he's too big to fit through that opening,

00:14which means he must have gotten in when the water was still high, and now he's stuck.

00:18As a dodo producer, I've worked on many turtle videos,

00:21so I knew that turtles need to be in water to survive through the winter.

00:25We tried tipping the box over, but it was way too heavy and very stuck in the mud.

00:29We didn't know if there were hooks or what else could be in there,

00:33so we ended up using our paddles.

00:37Hi!

00:37Hi, you!

00:39Do I have an idea?

00:40As we worked out a plan on where to place them, we realized he wasn't alone.

00:46There's two.

00:47I think more than...

00:48I think I wanted to.

00:51We're a happy buddy.

00:52Oh, you're looking beautiful!

00:59Oh, hi!

01:01Okay, I understand.

01:03I understand.

01:04You're swimming.

01:08Is there somebody else in there?

01:10We found a third one and a fourth.

01:13There's so many.

01:14It was amazing to see that they all instinctively knew to go straight back into the lake.

01:30Slowly, but surely.
