That was hilarious. The best part is the "epic" music he set along to sync up to it. What a loser.

People that own turtles are just above people that own scorpions and tarantulas on the "Never moving out of mom's house" scale.

They hiss, too! If you ever pick one up, be very, very careful.

Definitely be taking that advice.
Look like they could do you some serious injury.

That was way brutal. Including that little bit of introductory of the cute mice spinning in the wheel and whatnot just added on to the shocking bit. Dang! That turtle just knows how to snap off the heads of the mice..

Some people recommend picking them up by the tail, though their necks aren't quite long enough to snag you if you go for the side of the shell. They're like mini-dinosaurs.

Yeah, go for that. You'll wish you hadn't when his head swings towards your junk and you realize how far they can extend their necks. Most people recommend NOT picking them up.

If I see them in the road at home, I'm going to get them out of the road, just like I do for any wayward turtle.

I can't believe animals eat other animals. This is completely new and shocking to me!

Great video, my friend showed it to his second grade elementary students and made the whole class cry.

I got as far as seeing the rat being held at the top of the water, panicking as it saw the turtle, before I had to shut it off. Then I took my favorite one out of his mansion of a cage (I have 2, but one's a jackass) and cuddled him while he licked my thumb and purred.
