We all know the heartbreaking images of tortoises lying helplessly on their backs in the desert.
The poor sea turtle in the TheGlobalAnimalsWorld video feels the same way. Is she doomed to die?
A pitiful sight
We don’t know how it happened, but the turtle floats helplessly on its back in the water.
It’s a pitiful sight. In desperation, the poor animal paddles its legs, but in vain:
No amount of exertion brings the body back into the right position. If the turtle were alone, it would face a slow and cruel death.

Luckily she has good friends and they haven’t given up yet.
Everyone line up for the rescue operation
«Together we are strong.» That seems to be the motto of the other turtles and rightly so.
In a matter of seconds, the conspecific is surrounded by a veritable rescue company. Every turtle does its best.
There is shoving, there is pushing and shoving and finally success is there.

The animal, which has just been doomed, is turned once around its own axis with combined forces and swims the right way round through the water again.
Impressed with so much effort
It is fascinating to see how fast, organized and determined the turtles are.
No human rescue team could have been more effective. Quite a few viewers are simply amazed.
“Incredible Turtles! I’ve never seen anything like this before. Just unbelievable»,

«Wow! I’m more and more surprised by the little animals. How they help each other… amazingly beautiful!”
meglopesgarcia7504 takes this opportunity to remind everyone that compassion and helpfulness aren’t just for turtles:
“We humans should also feel the same empathy and care for one another. Some animals seem to be way ahead of most humans.”
Let yourself be infected by the spirit of helpfulness and watch the video!
