This is not rare at all. It just depends on the species of Turtle Or Tortoise. My Box Turtle (who passed at 36 years old), would always come to me. And my Juvenile Hermann Tortoise knows my voice right away and will come out to play. But they are not like Dogs or Cats who can be trained. They are smart little individuals who have very different personalities. Your Taco heard your voice, and most likely associated it with food.

Dominus Providebit Water turtles, or any aquatic Turtle Or Tortoise is not for me. My late Box Turtle lived until the ripe old age of 36. I now have a 4 year old Hermann Tortoise. But they have all been LAND species. There is a HUGE difference. My 36 year old Box Turtle liked water and land. He was special, and would come to the sound of my voice. But he was an exception.

Thank you for being kind enough to share. It is unusual behavior but we had a land turtle once,named Mr. O'toole. He was very friendly and would walk about the house at night. We laughed because all you could hear was clomp, clomp, clomp. He lived in a modified shoe box. We let him return to the wild after a couple of weeks. A real joy and conversation piece!
I had a tortoise when I was little. when I say "let's go for a walk" she walks beside me. after hunting her down somewhere in the house I tell her "come eat" she walks to the dining room. when you hear a repeated banging sound, she's at the back door hitting it with her shell, translation: restroom asap!!

Taco's internal monologue: "one day Ill outlive all of you pitiful humans. But until then I will be living beside you following your every command master"
My aunt has one, it's like 70 years old and still going strong. Tortoises are generally pretty smart, and do display a degree of affection to their owners (and as seen here feel safe when they hear their voice). They make good pets as long as you know how to cater to their needs. As reptiles go, they're pretty easy, but you need to know how to deal with hibernation with some species, and their required temperature differs from species to species.
Actually, tortoises are among the dumbest of all animals. This one was merely responding to the movement of the owners outside it's burrow, which it associates with food. No intelligence necessary.
Neither of those things is true. They are dumb with very short memories. I have raised tortoises for many years and I can tell you that without hesitation.
Tortoises are pretty smart, though I suspect it varies from species to species. scienceblogs.com/lifelines/2016/08/12/turtle-smarts/ They also aren't deaf, though they may have a narrowing audible range than us.
Amazing ! But I suggest that you protect its space with chicken wire on all sides and on top. A magpie or another bird of similar size can easily make a meal out of it while it is still so small... And it will take about 5 years for it to grow big enough not to be at serious risk of being eaten.
taco *did y'all realy wake me up for that *girl*taco the tortis can respawns to voice*taco* ummm yea now they knowe putt me down so I can sleep😑🐢. 😂😁😀😄😅😆
Follow this advice! I've had my tortoise snatched by a bird. Luckily we found him back in an alley behind our house as the bird likely was unable to eat him. Now he's safe and sound, still a bad experience. Secure your penn well!
Really ? I hadn't noticed.. Well, this means that the baby turtle should be 6 years old by now... and that it must be the size of a man's fist by now... if it has managed to survive infancy.
Tortoises are pretty much deaf. This red-footed tortoise is responding to the flashlight and also to the movement he sees outside of his burrow. They associate their owners with food and are good at detecting movement. You can yell as loud as you can into a sleeping tortoises ear, and it will not wake up or respond in any way. I have done it many times, proving they are deaf.
Mike Foley But they can feel the vibrations caused by the voice, and that might br anothrr rrason it responds. My turtle comes to me when he feels I'm close, mainly because it always asks for food... and when you mention food, it gets very excited!
He's got little feelings this guy!!! He would not come when called if he didn't have feelings. He LIKES you guys!!! Omg this is 1 of the coolest videos ever.
It may be too early to tell, but usually if their shells cave in slightly on the underbelly then it's a male, and if it's flat it's a female. This of course gives them more leverage when breeding. Just a little help haha
So nobody is going to point out the fact that this tortoise constructed a structurally sound borough using a brick? That's more impressive than hearing. Bricks don't appear naturally, so this guy has discovered masonry work. Unless they built it for him,
that was so adorable I have a turtle but he's scared and never responds to when I call him and its not because he doesn't know his name (I've had him for five years)
Wish TH-cam content was still this pure without any intention of creators faking stuff nor trying to become famous. Just good content with no underlying motives to manipulate getting views.
Not proof that he responds to voice commands at all. These mfs literally shined a light on the homie's face while he tried to sleep. He was annoyed and tried to get them off his turf.
Tortoises have inner ears. They feel the vibration through their feet which is then translated to sound. They can hear, but they hear low sounds a lot better than high sounds.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. Pay attention to the smallest, meekest among us. The experience may be more rewarding than you can imagine.
Layfayette I had a red eared slider I named Captain Sprinkles 😂 I never figured out what the gender was, but I always assumed Captain Sprinkles as a 'he'
very cool! many animals are much more intelligent and personable than we give them credit for. i have no doubt Taco is responding to your interactions. i rescued a baby painted box turtle and kept him in an aquarium until he was about 5-7 months old (3" across) and then released him into a stream flowing into a 5 acre private lake. at night i would place him on my chest for warmth and cover him with the sheet. he would sleep there all night eyes closed, with his little head laying on me. in the morning as i uncovered him he would open his eyes, lift his head and look right at me as he began to stir. he stayed in the aquarium when i left for work but as soon as i got home he would climb out of the water or grass, crawl up a ramp to a large flat rock and look right at me awaiting the treat he knew i had. he was a really cool little turtle and i know without doubt he bonded with me and thought of me as his buddy/parent or whatever. which is very fascinating since they are hatched from eggs and have no real interaction with their mother in the wild. but that little guy really accepted me as his friend and protector. that shows signs of real intelligence imo. i looked into his little eyes every morning as he awoke and recognized that he was very aware of me and my intentions .there was no fear and he seemed to really enjoy our contact. that along with many other interactions with animals confirmed for me just how intelligent even very tiny animals really are. i hope Bosco is doing well. he would be about 4 yrs old now.

Actually they aren't deaf.. they just have poor hearing, Lower tones between 200 and 500 Hertz they hear quite well.
No way is my tortoise deaf, he responds and comes to my call just like this little guy.

they feel sounds as vibrations...turtles/tortoises don't have ears...funny thing is they don't even have a heart...they have different body system

very cool! many animals are much more intelligent and personable than we give them credit for. i have no doubt Taco is responding to your interactions.
i rescued a baby painted box turtle and kept him in an aquarium until he was about 5-7 months old (3" across) and then released him into a stream flowing into a 5 acre private lake.
at night i would place him on my chest for warmth and cover him with the sheet. he would sleep there all night eyes closed, with his little head laying on me. in the morning as i uncovered him he would open his eyes, lift his head and look right at me as he began to stir.
he stayed in the aquarium when i left for work but as soon as i got home he would climb out of the water or grass, crawl up a ramp to a large flat rock and look right at me awaiting the treat he knew i had. he was a really cool little turtle and i know without doubt he bonded with me and thought of me as his buddy/parent or whatever. which is very fascinating since they are hatched from eggs and have no real interaction with their mother in the wild.
but that little guy really accepted me as his friend and protector. that shows signs of real intelligence imo. i looked into his little eyes every morning as he awoke and recognized that he was very aware of me and my intentions .there was no fear and he seemed to really enjoy our contact. that along with many other interactions with animals confirmed for me just how intelligent even very tiny animals really are.
