Hawksbill Turtle: Food and Health
Clip | 1m 4sVideo has Closed Captions
Inside a sea sponge, the bros are startled as it shakes; caused by a sea turtle eating it!
A sea turtle begins to eat a sea sponge in which miniaturized Chris and Martin are in. They wonder why the sea sponge is moving so much and decide to use the fish cam to find out. With it, they see a mouth but it is unclear which animal they are looking at. The turtle takes another bite of the sponge which enables the bros to see it.

(intense music) - What is going on out there?
- Is it the grouper?
- Maybe he's attacking the sponge.
- Well I'm not going out there to find out.
You go.
- Me, no way dude, you do it.
- Okay, well here's one way to find out.
Deploy fish cam.
- Great idea bro.
- Okay I'm receiving a picture feed from the fish cam.
Ah, but it's fuzzy.
Wait, wait, something big, it's unclear, is that a mouth?
What kind of animal eats sponges?
We're about to find out.
- I'm getting a pretty clear picture right here bro.
It's a hawksbill turtle.
And of course the hawksbill sea turtle's favorite food are sponges.
- And check it out, that's why they call this turtle a hawksbill, because the turtles beak looks just like a hawks bill, and it's designed for cutting into sponges.
