Aggressive Turtle Attacks Unsuspecting Sunbather
The video presented to you today was shared by Joe McFarlane.
The clip is about a group of sunbathers relaxing and enjoying a day off in the water. They were using inflated mattresses to float on the water and sunbath. The relaxation moment turned into chaos when a turtle bit into one of the floating mattress before swimming after one of the women.
While sunbathing in Exuma, Bahamas, on March 25. The Bahamas is a beautiful place, even that the video doesn’t show a lot of landscapes, we can see the clear water, the sun hitting the surface of the water, and everyone sunbathing. Stephanie Sandiland didn’t expect that her fun break at the beach would end in such a way. She didn’t know that her water mattress would be popped thanks to a large turtle snapping away. After taking a bite at it, the angry turtle was swimming back and forth around that lady from our group of friends. The video is not long enough for us to see how long the turtles stayed or if they tried to bite another mattress but it is still enjoyable.
The video started nicely with our group having a nice moment on the water. The turtle gets close to the group but doesn’t attack right away. A second turtle is also there, although it seems a little bit less aggressive than the first one. The water is very clear which means that we are able to track the turtles moment at any time, except maybe when they go underneath the floating surfaces.
At the middle of the clip the turtles managed to make of the woman fall in the water, the same one who’s been attacked the whole time. She tries to hang on her floating mattress but as the turtle bit a couple times it seems to be unusable. The turtle goes back to make a turn and comes back at Stephanie with the intentions to bite her. She gets scared and starts swimming to another mattress that no one was using. At that moment we can also hear her friend tell her “ Here it goes again, be careful” or something along those lines. It isn’t clear if it did it to scare her or to tell her that the turtle was indeed coming, probably a little of both. Nevertheless this a funny clip and it could happen to anyone during vacations.
