Turtles have been on Earth for over 200 million years, surviving the extinction that wiped out the
dinosaurs. This session explores the biology and behaviour of these ancient reptiles — how they navigate
thousands of kilometres across open ocean, how they breathe underwater, and what their shells are
actually made of. Slow and steady, just like the animals themselves.

Perfect for: animal lovers, calm evenings, nature sleep sessions.

Jim from Caroline, Alberta. It’s now 3:49 PM. I never knew there was was so many species of turtles. Thanks for a good documentary. I was young I had a pet turtle. His name was Larry.

The most shocking detail is that some turtles can 'breathe' through their... rears to survive under ice all winter [07:44]! 🐢 I intended to sleep, but the part about Jonathan the tortoise, born in 1832 and still going strong, kept me wide awake in awe [04:23]. The narrator's voice is so 'chill,' it feels like drifting through currents with sea turtles. 👇 Anyone else get 'chills' at the leatherback's ability to dive deeper than most whales? [07:18]
