On today's CapeCast: We see baby diamondback terrapins hatching at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and talk to the volunteers who help them get a head start.
What these people are doing is really good!!! See, only 1% of turtles survive after they hatch because of predators, getting killed on roads and etc. I found a baby painted turtle who was stuck struggling in the tall grass 3 years ago. I took him home. I still have him today and he is very healthy and happy. I also adopted a 5 year old red eared slider. We all need to contribute and help turtles!!!🐢🐢🐢
Um, you’re right, The Guardian. The name IS in the title: turtles. They’re ‘terrapins,’ actually, but most people use ‘turtle’ and ‘terrapin’ typically in an interchangeable manner.
reminds me of my little tortoise, i saved from a cooking bazar in Tunisia. Still got killed from my puppy a few years later while i was not on watch. Makes me sad every day, but atleast it got a chance to live a good few years longer. :/
+Lina Beth I wouldn't recommend keeping turtles as 'pets'. It's like trying to cage a wild wolf in a hunter's dog cage. The animal will never be happy and really keeping exotic pets is more often than no a disaster with many tears for keeper and captive. Rather support the move to ban animal trading and put your love and time into helping the wild animals who deserve to be free.
Lina, helping animals return to the wild is so much more satisfying than trying to keep one out of it.Good luck, and may all of the good that you put into nature, return to you threefold.
+Billy Green wow, you're bright, aren't you? The exotic pet trade, one I have a strong figure in, is actually helping animal populations. As law we must captive breed, so none are taken but that allows the populations to grow instead of people having to catch them themselves. Please do your research before commenting such an invalid opinion so to speak. Thank you :-)
What's with all the hate for the ants? They've gotta eat too. It's not like most turtle/terrapin species are known for eating eggs and babies of fish and frogs. Oh. Wait.
My beautiful and amazing Princess When a turtle is flipped over it makes it hard for them to breath and can sometimes kill them depending on the species
Renato Ribeiro Normally that would be the case, but the issue here is that diamondback turtles are an endangered species on the brink of extinction. They DO need help. It isn't a natural extinction either; like most endangered species these days it's because humans have set the natural balance way off kilter so these people are doing their best to perpetuate the circle of life, not interrupt it.
But in a way, since humans are animals and members of their environment everything we do can be considered natural selection. Like since the baby turtles evolved to by cute to humans we have a desire to keep them alive and protect them. Just some stoned thoughts lol im baked
coffee grounds are the answer----put coffee grounds down, 2nd you use of coffee grounds. I have had all kinds of ant problems in potted citus trees, figs, and other plants. Finally, I heavily watered the pots to drive the ants to the surface and then sprinkled the used, dried, coffee grounds on the surface. The ants left and did not return. I now do a maintenance treatment, about once a month, and the problem remains solved. I have not tried putting them in the bottom when potting, but will, soon. Good tip that works
Because there are always huge discussions about how we name them (turtle / terrapin / tortoise) I suggest from now on we call all of them 'shellfooters'
Those are the most adorable little things I've ever seen!
God bless you wonderful people. The World is a better place with you in it.
Thank you

Those turtles are very cute

amm those are diamondback terrapins that means they are water turtles
Um, you’re right, The Guardian. The name IS in the title: turtles. They’re ‘terrapins,’ actually, but most people use ‘turtle’ and ‘terrapin’ typically in an interchangeable manner.
To those who think this is animal cruelty, it's not. They're saving these turtles from being devoured from inside the shell by ants.
Thank you

how wonderful to help the species
I'll be happy to help
I saved a baby snapping turtle from an ant once. c:
***** That was a long time ago on a vacation so, yeah I think I'm fine.

awwwww😍
I’m sure 1 ant can’t kill a snapping turtle. The turtle will kill it easily.
👁❤️🐢
Those baby turtles are so cute and you guys are AWESOME!!!! #makeithappy
This video made me happy, we need more people like these. :)
Using "water pistol" against Squirtle? Isn't very effective.
Pablo A.R. That makes a squirtle
LOL😂😂😂😂😂
Omg they're soo cute, I am considering on getting one, but where can you find turtles?
+Lina Beth Ebay probably.
+Lina Beth I wouldn't recommend keeping turtles as 'pets'. It's like trying to cage a wild wolf in a hunter's dog cage.

I like baby turtles😇😙😘😚💕💓💜💛💚💙💟💞💝💗💖
This speaks to me.
don't flip turtles over it stresses them out a lot.
they'll survive. plus i'm pretty sure the abrasive sand rubbing against their vulnerable little bodies stress them out more
My beautiful and amazing Princess When a turtle is flipped over it makes it hard for them to breath and can sometimes kill them depending on the species
omg im traumatized by those fucking ants that ate the turtles! why the fuck???
+Indica Barnett That's nature, some ants eat small animals
another reason to squash ants
I know right ?! 😳
+Indica Barnett me too, I hate ants
+rex calibr you do realize we need ants as a part of life
They don't need help. Just let nature do its thing.
Renato Ribeiro Normally that would be the case, but the issue here is that diamondback turtles are an endangered species on the brink of extinction. They DO need help.

Oh come on ants, you have many other things to eat 😡
Silver panda, you do know ants are very very important right?
You people are doing great work. Keep it up! :D
I want a piglet, they are so friggin cute
I have a turtle
Wait I had no idea we were supposed to steal from nature and say insects are bad Newsflash with out spiders every one wells be covered in bugs
Thank you for saving nature!!!
that turtle is super cute lol 😂😂
dont mean to ruin everything and it is great what they do etc. but doesnt actions like that kinda ruin the "plan" of natural selection?
There isn't really natural selection when they're killed in their egg
Stephen Weiler yes there is
TheHorreK2 How? It's just chance. Either way, they're helping a declining species
+Stephen Weiler (Stephen3210) Lol. You don't seem to understand natural selection at all
But in a way, since humans are animals and members of their environment everything we do can be considered natural selection. Like since the baby turtles evolved to by cute to humans we have a desire to keep them alive and protect them. Just some stoned thoughts lol im baked

SAVE THE TURTLES!
I remember raising this specific turtle in high school threw I believe boston college and Wright boston was a great 4 years thanks to these turtles
