Woman saves sea turtle from rope tangled around its neck

Next story: A bear slips behind a fisherman to grab his catch

There are no scissors to hand, so the woman reaches into the mud for a sharp seashell. A sea turtle has rope wrapped tightly around its neck and front flipper, and she uses the shell's edge to work through the strands.

The rescue in Trang, Thailand, appears in a clip shared by Wholesome Report. It begins with the turtle upside down on an exposed mudflat. The woman turns it over, finds the entanglement and sets about cutting it loose.

That small piece of improvisation is also what one viewer singles out in the comments: the resourcefulness of using a shell as a cutting tool.

Posted four days ago, the video has added roughly 34,000 views in a day, compared with its usual daily gain of about 1,000. This is a later surge rather than a big opening for the clips channel's upload.

Once the severed rope is removed, the turtle starts flapping its flippers. The woman clears nearby debris, then lifts and turns it towards the incoming tide, giving it a route back to the sea.
