WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:04.560 Hi, my name's Andrew and I'm on the edge of the spectacular Monterey Bay. 00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:09.680 We're asking people that visit this area from around the world what they know about sea turtles. 00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:13.960 Sea turtles? Sea turtles? Leatherback turtles. 00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:15.800 Get a load of some of these answers. 00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:21.140 I would think Australia and Hawai‘i, 00:00:21.140 --> 00:00:23.460 more like tropical places. 00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:25.100 I've never seen turtles around here. 00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:26.500 It doesn't like the cold water. 00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:29.160 I don't think very much about sea turtles. 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:34.660 Southern, south of Mexico, San Diego, warmer waters. 00:00:34.660 --> 00:00:37.520 They're a different animal. They can survive at different temperatures. 00:00:38.260 --> 00:00:40.420 I believe they swim in the ocean 00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:44.540 maybe in ocean currents and they come up to spawn on the beach. 00:00:44.540 --> 00:00:47.180 I believe they nest on beaches. 00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:50.920 They just crack and hatch and then the little turtles say hey 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.280 and head to the ocean because that's where we need to be next. 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.020 A lot of them are kind of scared and don't know what to do. 00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:00.600 And also the baby turtles they also get caught by the birds. 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.900 And then they swim with their parents, right? If I'm not mistaken. 00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:10.900 Well they eat vegetables, they eat plankton, they eat seaweed. 00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:13.020 I believe they eat shrimp, too. 00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:17.380 They're feeding on jellyfish, there's lots out there for them. Plenty. 00:01:20.020 --> 00:01:24.140 Other turtles probably eat other baby turtles, just 'cause they're a food source. 00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:26.380 I think the French eat lots of turtles. 00:01:26.399 --> 00:01:29.280 Humans eat them in different cultures. 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.980 Who would eat turtle soup? I don't know. That would be horrible to think anyone would, really. 00:01:33.980 --> 00:01:37.560 I think they're protected so we can't technically eat them or capture them. 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.440 In the United States you technically can't do it, I mean all the other countries probably do. 00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:43.440 They take the eggs, do they? 00:01:43.440 --> 00:01:45.440 I don't know. 00:01:48.080 --> 00:01:50.480 Is it the big, big one? The huge one. 00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:51.760 Kind of like this. 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.280 Some of them must be, what, a meter across? 00:01:54.289 --> 00:01:55.660 That big. 00:01:55.660 --> 00:02:00.480 What I know from Finding Nemo, they get to be a good size. 00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:05.520 Oh my god! Really? 00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:07.320 That's a leatherback? 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:11.780 Wow. 00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:14.580 Woah. Big. 00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:18.760 They look like a dinosaur. 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:20.720 Where was that? 00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:22.040 It was caught here? 00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:24.800 But it's more Southern Hemisphere, warmer waters. 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.720 It doesn't like the cold water. Really? 00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:30.240 800 kilograms? Very big. 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.720 It's large. It's probably quite old, I would guess. 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:34.140 That's amazing. 00:02:34.140 --> 00:02:35.820 And that's out there! 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:37.500 Big. 00:02:37.980 --> 00:02:38.540 Right there. 00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:40.580 That's fantastic. 00:02:41.100 --> 00:02:42.900 Gigantic, too. 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.100 I picture them kicking with both legs coordinated. 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.120 They just flip like that. Maybe like that. 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.560 Do that. It's almost like a breast stroke. 00:03:50.200 --> 00:03:53.180 Just protect them as best we can. 00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:57.300 And I will definitely do anything in the future to make them less endangered.
