A very happy turtle has won the internet’s heart. I’ve seen dogs react like this but never a turtle.

Have you ever seen a happy turtle? I really don’t think I have up until now. Usually, they appear stoic and unbothered. However, this happy turtle is very different. He looks psyched when his owner shows up and you can actually see his excitement! It’s adorable and if you never thought about owning a pet turtle before you definitely will now!

Video Of Happy Turtle Goes Viral Online

There’s nothing like coming home after a long day of work and then you see how excited and happy your dog is to see you. It can change your mood around instantly. However, dogs aren’t the only pet who are capable of doing this. No, I’m not talking about cats. I’m talking about a very happy turtle!

It’s a very short video but it’s long enough for you to see how happy this turtle is. You’ve probably seen a similar expression on your dog’s face, but a happy turtle is something I had never even thought about before! It turns out, turtles have good eyesight and can recognize faces and are even known to form bonds with people! I had absolutely no idea. Check out the viral video shared by @wildliferescuers on Instagram here.

Sorry, it won’t embed so you have to click this link, but how awesome is that? He legit looks happy! It almost looks fake, I didn’t think it was real at first. I’ve never seen a turtle make that face in my life! He’s adorable! I want a happy turtle as a pet now. Of course, this would only make it a real bummer if you get a pet turtle and he’s never this excited to see you. That would be a let down for sure.

The video is captioned, “Turtles, like many animals, can form bonds with their caregivers over time. Although they are often seen as solitary creatures, turtles can recognize their caretakers by sight, sound, and even smell. This recognition can lead to behaviors like swimming excitedly towards them or eagerly waiting for food. Fun fact: turtles have a keen sense of hearing, even though they don’t have visible ears! They can pick up on low-frequencey sounds, which helps them recognize familiar voices,” per @wildliferescuers.

Do you want a pet turtle now? I know I definitely would love to come home to see a happy turtle waiting for me.

When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

7 Wildest Animals Caught On Tape Stories From Dave & Chuck The Freak

First, it’s not always the predators that are behaving in ways that end up in the news. It can be the smallest and most innocent of animals…or, sure, it could be a violent predator. Sometimes, the animals are behaving a specific way completely unprovoked, other times they’re responding to something a person has done. If you mess around with wild animals, there’s a good chance you’re going to find out why that’s a terrible idea.

Typically, these kinds of endings can be avoided. A good way to not end up the star of a news story alongside a wild animal? Keep a safe distance. You’ll notice in most of these stories and videos, the problems could have been avoided if people just used a little bit of common sense. Don’t antagonize wild animals and be careful if you’re close to the animal. Especially if it’s significantly bigger than you!
