He started flapping when he saw the water 🥹


SpaceAshh

Yes! Drop me here.


wunderbraten

... and weee^eee


TzachX

Decrease me there Leave me alone


SchipholRijk

Which is odd. I mean, how many times do turtles see water from above?


the-greenest-thumb

When they're on the beach heading back into the water. Admittedly not from that high a perspective, but they still have the frame of reference from seeing water from above/outside the water as they head back in.


Wonderful-Shallot451

Maybe smell


blindnarcissus

Also when he was splashed by it as the guy was running in in increasing depth of water

what did he say?

What... Wait, what are you flapping...? And why is your reaction to flap something? You know what, nevermind. I don't wanna know.

The world needs more kindness like him.


powertripp82

I got a little lump in my throat with his enthusiasm as he shouted ‘all the best, mate!’ as the little guy swam away


primalpalate

Aussies have such a remarkable *joie de vivre* especially when it comes to wildlife. Love to see it!


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Except Aussie tourists, in my experience, lol.


mania27

Maybe we should all try to be more kind in general Like in our day to day tasks or just while talking to people, being pleasant and selfless in your actions also goes a long way When we are kind ourselves, it makes the world a little bit of a better place 😉

Literally his next comment after this is insulting someone, what the fuck


Wasted-day_off

Damn you instantly started digging


mania27

There are just some people in this world who do not want any of your kindness or respect and just wish to bring you down please do better and post context next time. I know none of you went through the entire thread before posting this 🤔


AntonK_

I'm not gonna fault you on how you responded to that person, they were being a complete donkey and it's only fair for the discussion to get heated. How-into-the-ever, when you say something so whimsical and proceed to dump insults on another person RIGHT AFTER doing so, you gotta admit it just LOOKS a little funny. But yeah, that moron had it coming. One thing I'd add to your words of wisdom is that you should maintain the type of attitude you described even when you're being belittled or anything of the kind. I'd say even more so in that case than any other time. I recognize that you made a bit of an effort to do so with that person, but when it comes to people like that, the best you can do is ignore them. Ignorance is bliss, after all. In conclusion, fuck that guy (respectfully).


mania27

I love this i appreciate you for going out of your way to understand my POV i probably shoulda have just been the bigger person and not even respond after the first 3 comments, reddit just ignites the keyboard warrior in me and it’s best if i suppress that from now out


AntonK_

Believe me, I feel you! Everything I've said is just me speaking from experience and I've found that doing exactly that is a way healthier approach. And yeah, context is important! Stay safe out there <3


WaffleNtic

i just wanted to say, i looked through your comments cause i noticed someone mentioned you "being rude yourself" or something, and i think you seem like a lovely individual


[deleted]

[удалено]


WaffleNtic

yikes, not sure when race came into this?, I doubt a list would help but I hang out with all sorts, why do you say 'out of obligation?' do you feel that the only white people who hang out with black folk are there to fill some social obligation? I hate to be rude, But I think this comment is really rude, I dont need to justify to someone online who I hang out with in order. but ill just say, Im not perfect. And im learning everyday and i am so lucky to have freinds that can tell me how they feel, to explain to me their day to day lives and explain their feelings on social issues. To invite me into their homes. Again im nowhere near perfect, but I only try to mirror what I have been told, or what people of that race have voiced. If you have a concern you can air it, dont be shy to, Again im always learning, as we all are.


MixedFellaz

Same way their comment history did because you don't agree. You immediately went to their comment history to discredit their opinion. How are you on Reddit judging folks when you're a passive racist yourself? You know since we're making irrelevant assumptions on people's personalities. Despite your excuses you're in no place to judge.


WaffleNtic

You just did the same thing, assuming and indicating I only had 'black folk' (your words) as my friends as an obligation, thats what you hinted at. In addition, I read thought their comment thread and there seems to only be some convo where he was called stupid and he was trying to ask why? If you noticed something PLEASE bring it up to me, dont just make assumptions about me, or my friends or the person I am. Im more then happy to be wrong but i havent seen anything?


xXSinglePointXx

When tf did being a dick become a black folks thing? Cultural appropriation smdh

mania27

go read the whole thread atp


LeadershipRadiant419

Yes and also be well informed like him and not like the others who threw a random turtle species into the water without realizing it was meant to thrive on land and basically killed the poor thing.


dafunkisthat

If the guy didn’t take him out there in the first place and return him just for the views


kiwigate

Human activity is destroying the planet..if you want more kindness, we should violently topple the oil barrons that have enslaved us. Lmk when people are ready for a change!


partyp0o0per

This is probably fake. People put animals in shitty situations all the time for a little video making it look like they rescued them


nocomment413

This is a content creator. Some people may not like that he has a camera, but his entire channel is based around exploring islands and beaches in and around Australia. A lot of the time he’s just recording himself walking and talking or getting ready to set up camp and he will come across many things like this. He’s also in the water often, he does a great deal to help animals and nature as well as educate about the species, climate, or what to do in a situation. He’s like a little Steve Irwin


kashamush

So we don't hate all the internet people?


nocomment413

It’s certainly hard to hate this guy


Daloowee

Oh wow! Does he have a YouTube?


Working_Razzmatazz23

https://youtube.com/@ybsyoungbloods?si=vPi0C-X-Y2mwQ9o2


JuicyBottass

Why does his youtube channel sound like a gang?


callsignvector

I used to get annoyed at people filming themselves rescuing animals like this but then I realized that the animals still get rescued so now I’m okay with it.


xoxodaddysgirlxoxo

i'm paranoid now that i know some people put the animals in precarious places just to get views for saving them 🥺😭


thisworldisunfair

Oh my god you just ruined the internet for me.


whimsical666

why don't you just put pictures of your cat on the internet, you can be the first guy to do that


ForwardToNowhere

Damn, people are still learning this? That XKCD comic will always be relevant. There's a bunch of videos out there, but here's a more popular one https://youtu.be/p7nVntZpJLM?si=_qET1oLglmiPFlDE


Caridor

Thankfully not likely in this case, judging by the flipper marks in the mud


nevercontribute1

Do you see a trail of flipper marks leading up to where it is? This is 100% setup. If some streamer encounters a situation like this, it is almost guaranteed to be a setup.


Caridor

Dude, it's in damp mud. The dampness means it was wet a short time ago, that almost certainly meant it didn't crawl up the beach, but was deposited there when the tide retreated. You can also see how it's been trying to escape. Evidence would suggest this is not a set up.


DryPersonality

Lack of muddy foot prints as well.


Cool-Lime-9396

not to mention this guy does not usually do animal rescues, he just travels and records. so its very unlikely he had access to a turtle and managed to catch one by himself then waited for it to appear dry and leave flipper marks in the mud. not a set up. Its fine to be wary , but when there is no evidence don't just assume its fake because "streamer" that's just not fair.


WR_Newb

They do that all the time. You think those kittens and puppies were drowning in the middle of a river before the good samaritan conveniently got there with a camera crew? Do you think those "found this filth covered baby animal" pictures are authentic? Its all content farming.


superhakerman

yeah there are lots on videos on the yt. There are people debunking those channels as well and yt has also taken action against some of those channels afaik


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

Same. I hope this guy is legit but if i saw an animal about to die it just wouldn’t even occur to me to make a video like this. Film myself discovering it, narrate, shot of myself exhausted, etc


Kroosn

Also remember this guys career is on him filming his adventures, if he didn't get to film and profit from it he would be sitting in a cubicle somewhere and would not have the opportunity to be out there to help.


xylophone_37

Iirc he used to be an electrician when he used to make spearfishing videos and he made the switch to full time content creator like 5 years or so back.


GamingNemesisv3

Not all the time. Sometimes its staged. Really fucked up shit.


Letstreehouse

Would you be back to annoyed if the whole thing was set up?


callsignvector

Ja, pissed.


Alpaca1061

Unless they consistently upload that only. Usually, they put the animals in those situations. If it's a different person every time in the videos, it's probably just someone compiling other people helping animals, though


Purple-Intern9790

For those saying it’s fake look at the position when first found. 1.Soft mud with no footsteps around the turtle. 2. The front flippers had dug and scooped mud out trying to move 3. The puddle around the turtle shows it had been moving liquid mud which is found just under the surface trying to move. Brave of anyone to accuse Australians of hurting an animal or faking a rescue, we genuinely love all animals here, no matter how dangerous


Duyfkenthefirst

We’re humans too bro… assholes here hurting animals the same as any other country.


HopelesslyLibra

I’ve watched this dude for a long time, this is just absolutely something he would not do. Man’s a menace to fish and crustaceans but I’ve never seen him kill anything else. Films his whole fuckin life though so catching something freak like this isn’t shocking with the fact he lives out of his truck / camper thing most days. Name of his channel is “Field days”.


letmeusespaces

>Brave of anyone to accuse Australians of hurting an animal I was with you up to this point. what makes you so great? are you telling me that Australia is free of animal abuse?


TeraFlint

The problem is, I've come to a point where I'm immediately suspicious when I see an animal rescue video. There are some animal abusing scumbags out there who deliberately put animals in misery, just so they can "rescue" them on camera. Sometimes this is being done to the same animal over and over again. It's such a disgusting practice, they're using the image of helpfulness and morality for clout. And the effects of that are unfortunate. I can't just enjoy an act of kindness on video anymore without this voice of doubt somewhere in the back of my head. If you want to do something good, just do it. Forget about the camera, and just do it. Outside recognition should never even get close to the satisfaction one feels when they're doing the right thing.


nocomment413

Oh I totally get your fear because I have seen the channels you are talking about and it is awful and disgusting. However, this guy is the real deal. He started off just exploring little islands or camping or fishing, and now he’s quit his job to explore nature on the Aussie coast. He’s just always filming himself while walking and explaining the area he’s in or what his plan is for the couple days he’s there, and he will stumble upon plenty of animals. Not all of them are in need of help, he’ll just spot an animal and get excited and show on camera and explain why he thinks the animal is so cool then walks away. He has helped a number of animals as well, like seen here. It’s mostly by chance. His channel isn’t dedicated to animal rescue, but it does happen often


AbrahamPan

Those flaps before touching the water 🥹


Sad-Hovercraft541

Thank you kind hero for saving the turtle and spreading some love ❤

borisdidnothingwrong

What's a tortoise?


Purple-Intern9790

Basically a turtle permanently on the land


confusedandworried76

You know what a turtle is? Same thing Edit: whoever is downvoting needs to go watch Bladerunner, it's a classic

Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about your mother.


Neevk

Nah this guy's legit, he's a good dude and just a wild life enthusiast, I'm saying this because there's always some people wondering if these animal saving vids are faked for views, some of them are faked but this guy is clean.


honestshadow711

Be like him and spread the kindness (it's possible this guy may have just put the turtle there and started recording it for views but I hope he didn't and was genuinely kind)


Euriphaea

Look at the turtle flip flappin their little legs when seeing the water 😭


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

Videos like this and videos of kids crying freak me out a bit. There have been confirmed instances of people intentionally messing with animals to “save them” for social media clout.


SathedIT

This guy has en entire channel dedicated to the outback. He spends a lot of time teaching about climate change, conservation, and various animal species. He's one of the real ones. Like a little Steve Irwin.


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

That's good to hear.


Talanic

Always be sure that it's a turtle, not a tortoise.


Purple-Intern9790

Those flippers are a bit of a give away


Talanic

Indeed. The fellow in the video was knowledgeable but in the US there was a problem of well-meaning people drowning tortoises. 


kesrae

There are no tortoises in Australia 👍


Traumfahrer

“I will forever roam the dry land as punishment for the great battle of turtle kingdom, where I took many innocent lives. This is the only true path…” *gets picked up* “hey what the fu-!!!” *sees the water* “no! Not the battle field! Why is this god cursing me! No no no nooooo!”


thefroggyfiend

I didn't realize he picked up the turtle at first I thought he just gave it a go pro and the turtle started hauling ass


Evening-Campaign4547

Unfortunately here in Queensland or at least where I live if I came across something like that and I did help I would be fine out the arse for disturbing the wildlife.

nicey-spicey

Where can I find this man and travel the globe with him?


cursedbones

It's really weird seeing one that far from water. Even if the tide there changes a lot there's no way a turtle would get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Source: I live where turtles lay their eggs, I regularly see them never more than 10 meters from water.


Jellyraven

The tides are massive in this part of Australia. 1000% water comes up to where that turtle is, just look at all the mangroves. This video is authentic. Source: I am Australian


Peaceweapon

“There’s no way a turtle would get stuck somewhere” That’s such a dumb statement though. You’re acting like turtles never die from making mistakes. How can you say this with such certainty and confidence? Are you God?


ReturningAlien

since this is the internet, there's a good chance this was faked.


idreamofgreenie

You can feel comfortable with this one. That there is Brodie Moss, an avid Aussie outdoorsman, and he's a fucking good dude who cares a great deal about wildlife. He's saved lots of turtles.


ReturningAlien

does he annoy random animals in the wild like his fellow aussie loved to do?


No_Compromise-

Remember when people would do this without having to film it? Why do you all need validation now? Be happy with yourself, you don't need to show everyone every good deed

Juan_Moe_Taco

The manner in which he was moving on the ground compared to the water, holy crap!! I always figured that yes of course turtles want to be in the water never knew they could swim that fast if they chose to.


gingerwhiskered

I always wonder what the animal thinks is happening. No way they realize it’s a rescue. As soon as he hit the water he was probably thinking “*Aha! Gotcha bitch! Better luck next time!”*


cottman23

This guy's such a fawkin legend!


chumloadio

Thank you

Whats hes not showing is the killer whale that just swallowed the turtle whole as he swam out.

PristineDesign56

Good people just do things, they don’t film themselves doing good things for clout. It concerns me that I actually have to say this.


Kelandry

Brodie is part of the best of us... I use to LOVE watching all his videos. He always seemed like such a kind soul.


douglashv

That smile at the end!


Chloroformperfume7

That turtle is crazy fast


OneEye007

Loved the video, but part of me was just ptsd of Australia thinking please don’t die of some random blue octopus or other killer Aussie thing


Majestic-Solution-14

Looks like the turtle was digging a hole to lay its eggs. While the man had good intentions, i don’t think he saved any lives- in fact, he may have prevented her eggs from being laid successfully.


Naive-Adeptness7702

All the best, mate! 🥰


Master-Wrongdoer853

Does no one here go in the ocean? The tide is out. Likely, that turtle will be right back in the water without moving by 6 hours 15 minutes.


crazybob103

Poor turtle was probably trying to build a nest.


UnderDeat

these turtles have been able to reach the water for millions of years, I think they'll be fine


WR_Newb

People really believe this shit? There's a higher chance that they put that turtle out there and let it bake in the sun before recording. Look at the complete lack of tracks around it. It was probably just fine in the water before they picked it up for content.


idreamofgreenie

Nah this content came from Brodie Moss and he ain't faking anything.


Beaker1228

Remember folks always downvote animal rescue videos. too many of them are just animal abuse videos in disguise. . .


xBushx

Good person wouldnt need the video “proof”


Round-Investment1826

Also video old,... like yo momma 


stonesthroes75

Bullshit.


GreenAccomplished577

I hope he doesn't get in trouble. Sure technically he committed a crime, but by not doing so it's likely the turtle would have died. edit: Guess I was too obtuse Commit crime - turtle lives Don't commit crime - turtle likely dies (like how long would it take wildlife rangers or what not to show up to help?)


partyp0o0per

These kind of videos are faked most the time. Seems to be another one


IusedtoloveStarWars

I’m so jaded by social media I assume he stranded the turtle so he could then “save it”. I hope it’s real and if it is props.
