Shortly after I watched your Dragon Tails video before the turtle bite I was out driving around and found a Red-Eared Slider in the middle of a busy highway. Thankfully I got to it before the traffic had hit that point in that moment but it was coming. I didn't even think just backed my car up, parked it and jumped out and got it. Took it to a pond and set it free, it was awesome and made my heart race getting out in front of traffic to get the turtle off the road.

My birthday was on July 20th, and I got to go to a zoo, and they have a swamp, and I got to see common snapping turtles, and got to watch your videos all day, anyways, thanks for another great video!

Coyote you are a huge inspiration for me, and I wanted to say thank you for the videos like those, putting yourself in harms way to educate us.

2:12 omg the way the turtle was moving is so cute but also really sad :D

[boag]

The way he said, "Welp, I'll get the first aid kit, " makes it sound like he said that many times before! :)
