Transcript
00:06 | It's finally here . Okay . The turtle video , | |
00:09 | The turtle video , we are going to learn about | |
00:12 | turtles . Uh , first we want to hear from | |
00:15 | some of you , 10 year old Janna from London | |
00:18 | had a joke for us and said , why can't | |
00:20 | the bicycle stand ? It was too tired . That's | |
00:24 | good . That's a good job . Good joke . | |
00:27 | We also heard from 10 year old Abbey from texas | |
00:31 | who learned about owls with us and said my favorite | |
00:34 | owl fact was their amazing camouflage . That's true . | |
00:37 | Their camouflage skills are pretty incredible . Mm That was | |
00:43 | cool . Watch this entire video to see how you | |
00:46 | can have a chance to be featured as well . | |
00:51 | Well , as we mentioned earlier in this video , | |
00:55 | we are going to learn about turtles , but before | |
00:57 | we dive into these turtle facts , let's cover the | |
01:00 | basics . I think turtles are cute animals that are | |
01:06 | famous for their protective hard shells and they're slow movements | |
01:10 | . Uh , hey , do you already know what | |
01:14 | type of animal a turtle is ? What type of | |
01:17 | animal is a turtle ? Uh huh . Turtles are | |
01:23 | a type of animal called reptiles . Turtles are reptiles | |
01:28 | , wow . So what does that mean ? While | |
01:33 | here are a couple of things about reptiles , they | |
01:37 | breathe air . They are cold blooded and they are | |
01:40 | vertebrates meaning they have a backbone , breathing air is | |
01:47 | easy to understand . Right , can you take a | |
01:50 | breath right now right now ? Yeah , you breathe | |
01:55 | air to just like turtles and all of the other | |
01:58 | reptiles . Even sea turtles breathe air . That's right | |
02:04 | . So fascinating . This sea turtle is grabbing a | |
02:07 | quick breath of air before going back in the water | |
02:13 | earlier . We also mentioned that turtles and all of | |
02:16 | the other reptiles are cold blooded . What does it | |
02:20 | mean to be cold blooded ? Well being cold blooded | |
02:26 | means turtles don't keep the temperature of their bodies the | |
02:29 | same . Their environment changes the temperature of their bodies | |
02:34 | . Or unlike turtles and other reptiles , we are | |
02:39 | warm blooded . That means our bodies warm themselves and | |
02:42 | keep our temperature about the same all of the time | |
02:45 | . Even when we're out in the cold , if | |
02:50 | you check the temperature of a turtle , it can | |
02:52 | be all over the place depending on where the turtle | |
02:55 | is because a turtle just like all other reptiles is | |
02:59 | cold blooded . We also mentioned that just like other | |
03:05 | reptiles , turtles are vertebrates , they have a backbone | |
03:09 | . Next time you see a turtle smile at the | |
03:11 | turtle and say , Hey , I know you you | |
03:15 | are refer to break . You have a backbone , | |
03:18 | which is cool . Okay , Alright . Turtle , | |
03:20 | can you , can you hear me ? Turtle ? | |
03:22 | Turtle ? If you would like to learn more about | |
03:27 | reptiles , we have a full video on it . | |
03:29 | You can check it out after this video . All | |
03:35 | right . Time for more turtle facts . We want | |
03:38 | to be experts on turtles . Turtle masters , let's | |
03:43 | talk about this . What do turtles eat ? Huh | |
03:46 | ? That's a good question . What ? Well , | |
03:51 | that depends on the type of turtle and what kind | |
03:54 | of food is around it . Turtles spend their day | |
03:57 | looking for food . They can eat things like insects | |
04:03 | . Fish , worms are different kinds of plants because | |
04:06 | they eat both meat and plants . Turtles are omnivores | |
04:12 | . Can you say omnivores ? Uh , turtles are | |
04:16 | omnivores . That means they eat both plants and meat | |
04:23 | . It's interesting their eating habits can actually change as | |
04:26 | they get older , too . Okay , when turtles | |
04:29 | are young to eat more meat and older turtles tend | |
04:33 | to eat more plants . Now , that's not always | |
04:36 | the case , younger turtles can eat plants to an | |
04:39 | older turtles can eat meat , but their diet changes | |
04:43 | as they get older . Oh , lupus . Here's | |
04:48 | a picture of a turtle with a buddy . Well | |
04:51 | , at least you would think these turtles are friends | |
04:54 | that their buddies . Well , guess what they really | |
04:56 | are . They're really not friends . Okay , get | |
05:02 | ready for a sad fact . Turtles don't usually interact | |
05:08 | with each other . They're not very social animals and | |
05:11 | they don't interact with other turtles . If they're in | |
05:14 | a group , they don't even acknowledge one another , | |
05:17 | they're just doing their thing in this picture there , | |
05:20 | eating together . They're enjoying a meal and it would | |
05:23 | be like , cool if they were turtle friends if | |
05:25 | they were friends . But turtles don't become friends with | |
05:28 | other turtles . Turtles don't have turtle friends , they | |
05:31 | just do their own thing . But the good news | |
05:37 | is the turtle can be friends with you . Some | |
05:39 | people have turtles as pets . Do you know anyone | |
05:43 | with a pet turtle ? Okay . All right . | |
05:49 | We are ready for our next turtle fact . Did | |
05:52 | you know turtles love the water and spend most of | |
05:56 | their time ? They're all okay . This is actually | |
06:01 | the major difference between turtles and tortoises . Turtles spend | |
06:05 | most of their time in the water , and tortoises | |
06:09 | spend most of their time on land . Now sometimes | |
06:11 | people get these animals confused because they look very similar | |
06:15 | and they're from the same family , but they are | |
06:17 | different because of where they spend most of their time | |
06:20 | . Turtles spend most of their time in the water | |
06:22 | , tortoises spend most of their time on land . | |
06:27 | Look at this amazing sea turtle . All turtles spend | |
06:32 | most of their time in the water , but none | |
06:34 | as much as sea turtles . Sea turtles are all | |
06:38 | about the water . But you know , even sea | |
06:41 | turtles spend a little bit of time on land . | |
06:43 | In fact , female sea turtles lay eggs on the | |
06:46 | shore and the baby sea turtles make their way to | |
06:50 | the water once they hatch , it's interesting . Baby | |
06:56 | turtles are called hatchlings . That's right . Hatchlings , | |
07:01 | that's such a cute name and they look so cute | |
07:04 | . Hatchlings are so adorable , but notice , you | |
07:07 | know , their mother is not helping them . That's | |
07:09 | because turtles remember are not social animals . Okay , | |
07:13 | they don't really interact with one another that much . | |
07:16 | And so they're kind of left on their own . | |
07:19 | That may be why turtles don't celebrate Mother's Day . | |
07:23 | Their Mother's Day card would just say dear mother , | |
07:28 | I hatched and did everything on my own love baby | |
07:33 | turtle . Of course no turtle video would be complete | |
07:37 | without sharing more about that famous shell . The outer | |
07:41 | part of the shells made of something called keratin . | |
07:43 | The same thing . Your fingernails are made of , | |
07:46 | your fingernails are made of the same thing as turtle | |
07:49 | shells . And as you can see the shell is | |
07:54 | great for protection . Turtles can hide their heads and | |
07:58 | their feet in their shells , but not every turtle | |
08:02 | can hide in its shell . For example , sea | |
08:08 | turtles can't hide in their shells , but we shouldn't | |
08:11 | feel bad for them . Look at where they live | |
08:13 | , wow , Absolutely beautiful . Hey , what was | |
08:19 | your favorite turtle fact ? Let us know in the | |
08:21 | comments section below . We would love to hear from | |
