ALL: Oof!
Uh-oh, this isn'’’t good.
He'’’s going to try to eat us!
Put it in lockdown mode!
(Sighing) Ahh!
Lockdown!
Lockdown!
Lockdown secure.
(Groaning) (Thudding) Perfect.
So, we'’’ve got nothing to worry about.
(All shouting) Shh.
He'’’s trying to get in.
He can try all he wants.
We designed this just like a turtle shell.
Well, you know... Yeah, we'’’ve got nothing to worry about.
(Groaning) Huh?
KOKI: See, look at this.
A turtle can pull its legs and head inside the shell, like we just did.
Yeah, but-- KOKI: And the shell is made of a mix of bones like the spine and ribs, and special bony skin all fused together.
So, we did the same thing.
The Tortuga shell has a reinforced spine and rib joists.
Nothing'’’s going to get in here.
(Gasping) (Alarm sounding) Uh-oh, the shell is stressed.
Whoa!
Whoa, oof!
It can'’’t take much more force!
Can he get in, guys?
Well, that'’’s what we'’’re trying to tell you!
Coyotes are one of the few animals that do prey on box turtles sometimes.
(Gasping) See?!
Ugh!
We'’’ve gotta fly outta here!
(Glass breaking) Fast!
Jimmy, take it off lockdown.
On it!
Ahhh!
Whoa!
Waah!
I'’’ll tell you when.
Wait for it... Now!
JIMMY Z: Lockdown off!
Boosters out!
And take off!
(All cheering)
