As you may know, barnacles are some sort of crustacean that usually fix themselves to rigid surfaces like rocks or even ships. Yet, sometimes they can attach to the sea turtles’ shells. Although one single barnacle doesn’t particularly cause any sort of damage, if the barnacle’s number found on a turtle’s shell is too high, that could turn into real struggles for the hopeless marine creature. Swimming difficulties, infections, and even poor eyesight can be the result of these sticky crustaceans.
And today we will focus on a random act of kindness, where a heroic guy from Sri Lanka, decides to help some poor sea turtles to dispose of a burden that could eventually cost their lives. The helpful man, called Chika Boy is great fond of wildlife and always willing to step up for the homeless animals. This time, he removes the barnacles from the turtle’s shell!
So, in his latest YouTube video, Chika Boy shows us the easiest way to help a sea turtle get rid of those unpleasant guests. You can see how many barnacles attached themselves to this tiny sea turtle. Fortunately, this nice guy removes them all using a special tool. Then, with its shell clean, Chika Boy releases the turtle back into the ocean.
