- [Chris] The body design of the sea turtle has been pretty much unchanged for millions of years.
- [Martin] It's the same today as it was way back then.
- [Chris] That shape and design of the sea turtle has enabled it to survive while all the dinosaurs died out.
That's how good it is.

Why does it work?

- Hey, how about swimming with the sea turtles?
