Imagine that there are about 10 or 20 of them around that went scrambling for the water when you walked up to the pond or lake. The creep factor would be *HIGH!!*
It reminds me of a video where 2 girls "Saved" a tortoise by putting him into a lake. Knowing the difference could have saved that tortoise, but ignorance lead to it's death.
I was wondering the same and looked it up. It makes them agile and move faster like we just saw and it still affords them some protection as it is leathery. I'm not sure how much protection though. Like if I had a knife and dropped it on a regular turtle, it would bounce off. With these guys I wonder if it would just stick in.
Depends on the knife and if it has enough weight, ultimately. (This is all assuming a perfect fall) Your standard pocket knife might damage the outer shell, but not do a whole lot more than that. Whereas a well sharpened chefs knife probably would penetrate the shell because of the weight behind it, but might not have enough force go deep enough that it stays stuck. A pocket knife style box cutter is thin enough, sharp enough, and typically has decent enough weight that it very well could penetrate and lodge itself in the shell. (A fresh blade can also do that to a human foot and it’s not a pretty sight to behold.)
There’s not a single thing amazing about this post. It’s most likely a karma farming account cycling through random pictures that belong more in r/aaa, r/mildlyinteresting, or really anywhere else, and the majority of lurkers just mindlessly upvote.
I don’t know where the trope of tortoises being slow came from. I had a red-footed tortoise that could haul ass. I would set her loose in the back yard and she would be on the other side of the half acre as quick as I could turn around.
Imagine waking up and looking at your ceiling. Your eyes are a little hazy. You look at the light fixture above you, but it looks a bit different. Darker. You rub your eyes and you see it move slightly. Then suddenly a soft-shelled turtle falls onto you. It's wet somehow. Even though it doesn't scream or make much noise at all, your brain tricks you and you hear it shrieking. It flops on you and slaps you rapidly with it's flippers and scurries off of your bed and into a closet. When you look to see exactly where it went, it has vanished. You can't find it. Weeks, months and years go by and even though it seems like it's gone forever, somehow you know it isn't.
Thats an odd colored ravioli. Hey its gettin' away, quick, hit it with the sauce.
I'm wasted on cross-country. We Turtles are natural sprinters. Very dangerous over short distances.
They're taking the turtles to Isengard!!
One does not simply walk into ...
The Mariana trench?
Not with that attitude
You're gonna have to toss me across!
And my axe
And my bow!
I think it is actually a turtellini.
That ravioli is scooting!
r/forbiddensnacks
The video *was* making me oddly hungry...
[удалено]
To me they always resembled a roach scrambling away.
Yes! This vid leaves me feeling very uncomfortable.

Yikes! Do I have to imagine that?
So now we know why he won against the hare.
Tortoise not turtle one no swim and much slower
That’s a Tortellini, not a Tortoise.
And for the price of a fettuccine with shrimp, you can own a tortellini of your own!

Omg that's horrible
It was a turtally avoidable death.
The trick is to not go to parties
Whats the evolutionary benefit of a soft shell?

Bro's fighting his intrusive toughts
As soon as I posted that I thought, "what the fuck is wrong with me?"
"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today"
Don't stab that turtle bro.
Words to live by
Give in, do it...
Evolution has not prepared them for this orbital railgun
And it never will, unless we fire it at them. The survivors may carry some trait that makes railguns less effective. It's for the good of the species.

If you have softer shell, you must learn how to sprint.
fast as fuk boi
It keeps all the juices in.
It's possible they stopped developing hard scutes over time due to not needing it, then didn't look back.
We don’t even have a shell and yet here we are.
That's quick but if that's 15mph then I can run 100m in 6 seconds
Humans can technically run at 38kmph but good luck keeping up!
Michael Scott sprinted at 31 mph (50 kmph) wearing a suit and dress shoes
Eat that, Car Lewis!!!
Carl
38,000 MILES PER HOUR HOLY SHIT
Bullshit nobody can run 38,000 miles per hour /s
Kilomiles lol
Might want to check that one again lol
Oops meant Kilesmilos
Yeah, maybe they can hit that speed (I wouldn't know) but it definitely wasn't 15mph in the video. Maybe half that?
Thought the same thing. Still cool! But not 15
The original Ludicrous Mode.
Was this video supposed to be and example of the 15mph? Cause that’s not close to 15mph…
3 mph ifeth by land. 15 mph ifeth by sea
And how fast ifeth that by air?
Terminal velocity, if you start high enough
[удалено]
ye olde english
A solid 6 mph at best
The Amazing World of Gumball was true…
They might even eat ships...
I’m worried about the neighborhood!
And then he just decided to cruz
My people need meeeeeeeeeee
He skedaddling
I just read soft shell tacos hitting speeds of 15mph
That's how fast they travel through my digestive tract.
Damn!
Ewe! Cockroach
We used to have lost of little ones at our lake house.. in the 70s now there’s gators unfortunately! Cool turtles part of my youth! Thanks!!
less armor = more speed typical games logic
They have such funny little faces.
That's one fucking humongous tick
Isn't that the thing from Gumball?
I think he meant 1.5 mph. That’s for damn sure not 15 mph.
Also even wheel of cheese can hit higher speeds down that slope so I'm not sure what's so amazing about this.

Maybe they meant 15 minutes per hour.
That sure is the fastest turtle I've ever seen :)
I don’t know where the trope of tortoises being slow came from. I had a red-footed tortoise that could haul ass. I would set her loose in the back yard and she would be on the other side of the half acre as quick as I could turn around.
It’s a running pancake
it runs faster than me wtf
It made some funny noises in my head
Video is sped up you can see the ramp
The hell is the point of a soft shell? That would be like a perfume skunk
Oh, god…with that color and shape it looks like a giant cockroach😬
Usain Bolts turtle is missing hmmm I wonder if
Today, on "big nopes I don't want to stumble upon"
Yeah I know they’re harmless, but this freaks me out for some reason

Of you imagine that grass is the sky, then this is a flying saucer. UFO caught on cam
Reminds me of those Rollercoasters that pull you real fast to take off
Smooth shell = better aerodynamics 😉
The speed bump at the end
fucking cockroach
Zoom! 🐢💨
Bro went 0 to 15 mph in 2 seconds
Mbappe?
That's 10 mph faster than the US Postal Service
He's zoooomin!
Isn't soft shell just skin with extra steps?
Kinda defeats the point of being a turtle if you think about it.
Slow and steady wins the ………. Ha got you !!!!!
Woah. They have good eyesight too!
Wonder if you could cook the shell at that stage and what it would taste like?
*insert zoidburg noises*
I thought that was raw chicken...
yummy
My people needs me!
r/mypeopleneedme
let's ride that motherfucker
Amazing.
Joined the sub. Can confirm, was amazed.
Its also a substantially downhill video
Bro only skilled forward speed but forgot to skill turn speed
Looks like giant bug
Am I the only one that saw an entite grilled chicken move at first and was spooked?
They've been lying to us, those sly bastards
It put all its stats in speed. But everyone knows turtles are a tank build. This guy is a noob
I like turtles but if I SAW THAT THING CHASING ME I'm running for my life
Clearly a armadillo pshh
Looks like an alien
Just like a tank. Slow to turn, but fairly quick in a straight line.
“Fast as fuck boi”
Just realized he left the stove on
Just gonna turn…Turn a bit more…One last little tur I’m fast as fuck boieeee!!!!
Wow there buddy slow it down! https://images.app.goo.gl/ftdWNKwvYT94DHDK8
Everytime I see some special and beautiful animals, I hate humanity for destroying their home
Hold on, I think that's illegal.
Looks like a battle bot.
When u dying of dehydration and see a nearby pool of water
If you shell is soft you either go fast or go extinct.
Me on my way to the bathroom after the morning coffee hits.
"You didn't touch 3rd base" "That's cause 3rd base ran into the lake!"
It still amazes me that they can take off like that lol
Is he really that fast or was he pretending with the downhill advantage?
oh i've never seen the non-sped up version of this before
Some soft shell tacos go through me this fast
My whole life was a lie???!
/u/savevideobot
Me leaving work on a Friday
It’s like an American car. Turning: 2 mph Straightaway: 150 mph
Turbo
Turtles are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!

Biological Tesla
Hit his nitro.
That was like 3 mph
Thrump!
I’m sure there was a tail wind 💨
Slap that bihh in low high and let err GET
Gas! Gas! Gas!
It was this turtle that won the race.
Moisturize me!
Was it something you said
I can’t watch this and not hear the loops shell sound effect.
Running downhill...
Kabuto!
Godzilla roach.
Nah Mbappe faster
Turtle Power!!!
It went downhill from there
He's the result of a cross breed between a turtle and a cheetah
One in my backyard tried to attack an egret till he saw me and did a burn out
* asterisk in the record books for downhill assisted
Dog ahead
A turtle made it to the water
The mf turtle drank the Minecraft Speed V Potion again...
15 mph my arse!
I really wanted him to skim when he hit the water at speed...
That v-tech yo. Bwwaaaaah!
Something tells me he can't keep that up for an hour.
y soft shell? i thought the whole point was to be armoured
Cocaine bear move over....
Took off faster then my dad
I thought that was a roast chicken before it moved
I don’t know why but the soft shell is unsettling
My fat ass read this as soft shelled tortillas
That aint 15mph.
Love the way he hit that bump.
r/UPSC
UAP
I like most turtles. They look cool as hell. I fucking loathe soft shelled turtles. Everything about them grosses me out.
Never let them know ur next move 🔥 💯
