That ice had minimal chance of breaking (to the point of them completely falling in) given how thick it appears. When given the chance, people in Minnesota like to skate on the "wild ice" of frozen lakes. In fact I guess this year was particularly good in conditions to do exactly that.
@@SueChicago Saaaaammmmme. I literally did so alone because I was like 8 at the time and I was a very foolish kid. I could swim, but I couldn’t get a hold of the ice. My parents found like 5 minutes later and I nearly got hypothermia due me having a genetic hot and cold indifference. It basically means that while I can process coldness and heat, I can’t feel it. I can’t warm up using artificial heat or cool off in it either. I need the temperature to change outside or I could get hypothermia or heatstroke.
OMG, this is the coolest video ever! I knew about turtles breaking through their butts, but I didn't know about them being able to survive in anaerobic environments and their ability to break down lactic acid!!!!
Only after a while of watching did I realize just HOW thick that layer of ice was, cause I swear I was having heart palpitations watching y'all walk across that ice! I had no idea the ice could get SO thick! That's crazy! VERY cool video! I had NO idea how they'd survive, under the ice the whole winter long! Thank you so much for always being so informative! Lots of love from GA!
teacher: Now children today we will be learning about chloaceal resperation Student: what's that? Teacher: fancy words for butt breathing Student: yay!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your husband needs to have a discussion with mine so I can get one also. But apparently we "have no room" and yet he constantly discussed a bigger fish tank 😂
@@jordannahgalea9506 lol we live in a small apartment and this man wants ontop of a dog and snake an ant farm fish mice and hamsters like LOL NO WE DONT HAVE ROOM
For anyone who wants to try this after watching PLEASE test the ice in your area SAFELY FIRST, BEFORE walking on ice and NEVER go alone! Unlike turtles we can't live in cold water nor breathe through our butts, so safety first! ♥
They reused the clip at 1:50 in the highlights reel at 6:48, with the caption "Can you identify both species?" I saw so many people saying Emily missed a turtle, but no! She was testing us. 😊
Thank you Emily and Ed for teaching me how (some types) turtles hibernate! I already did know turtles hibernated(being an animal nerd) but, never know how. Thank you so much or educating 10000's of people learn every-time you post a video! Thank you so much!!!
Love your channel you guys got me interested in exotic reptiles and now I have a red-footed tortoise and I'm planning on breeding lots of different species of geckos
Seeing wild turtles brumating through a sheet of ice is one of the coolest things I’ve seen! Thank you for this video, I really needed to see cool turtles resting after a crazy day. PS: Your hat looks like there’s sushi on it & it’s honestly really cute 😊
I love that Emily gets mad when Ed says "it's through their butts" She really wanted to say that XD Edit: OMG WHAT THE HECK HOW DID I GET THIS MANY LIKES?? if only that was my sub count jk BUT SERIOUSLY THANK YALL WOW!! Edit 2: GUYS OMG WOW how am i getting this many likes on this comment this is the most I've ever had
I remember growing up in upstate NY and discovering this completely by accident one winter as a kid. The ice at the pond near my house had frozen thick enough to walk on with no snow on it, and I walked over to a rocky shallow area where it was very common to see painted and snapping turtles basking in warmer months. Sure enough, there was a whole group of BIG snapping turtles under the ice, just sitting there, and even a couple painted turtles moving around, surprisingly active like you saw.
I literally never comment, and I'm sorry, but, i need to say that you guys are amazing. Not only that, but extremely informative. SO many people do not know how to properly care for the pets they own, and i appreciate you helping them learn with the proper information. Thank you. 💚
Hiiii I love your vids so muchhh!! You take such good care of your animals! Thank you for teacher people all over about these fascinating animals! Again, love your vids!
Emily - the "mom" in me feels the need to remind you: Put on some form of boots with tread, so you don't slip on the freakin' ice! Love you guys and don't want you cracking your head or backside on that hard, cold surface.
I'm so jealous of where you live! That's a perfect site to go ice skating! (I'm Dutch, we haven't had a decent cold winter in years, and I miss ice skating :') )
In my neighborhood my house has the biggest pond so we kinda become the turtle sanctuary and I have always wondered what that do in the winter, this is really interesting...can they tell when your ice skating?
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I have seen them dig into the mud to brumate but not under the ice. Being from Ontario, Canada I may have to look in my pond not just around it.
I have a red eared slider that lives outside all year and I knew moast of this but it shocked me how long some of the other turtles can be under the water without air!
This looks so dangerous being out on the ice. I was scared for you guys! Our bodies of water don’t freeze like that in southern Oklahoma. Thank you for the amazing video 😍
I love the video and the great shots that you got but it probably would be a good idea for you to include a PSA about being careful about walking on iced bodies of water. It isn't a safe activity in a lot of areas and there are many children who watch your channel.
"they breathe through a whole different way" "it's through their butts!" then i suppose you could say it's a *hole* different way..... yes bad pun i am aware
Not going to lie, I live in WI and was anxious watching you walk on the ice! Didn’t want to see you go through!! I know you guys are safe, but it’s just crazy that the ice was that thick and clear!
Dear Emily and Ed I really like your videos and trough your videos i Lost the fear of snakes and other reptiles and started getting intrest in them and i learnd many stuff about these animals .Love your vids and stay safe!
Emily and Ed, I LOVE your channel and for the longest time I thought that there was only things like king cobras bu then I started to watch your channel and it opened the gates to the world of reptiles for me.I was always an animal lover and you told me facts that also made my mom who used to be afraid of snakes not be afraid of them anymore. I hope your channel grows to tell people about awesome reptiles all around the world. Please keep moving and I hope doing this is what you love. I always wished one day that I could be like you. :)
Now I wanna find a frozen lake in the middle of summer in a tropical country just because that looks beautiful!! Nice shots 😍 Lots of love from Brazil 💜💜
i did a couple research projects on hypoxia/anoxia tolerance in fish for some of my classes and i kept seeing turtles when i was looking for sources, but since i was focusing on fish i never checked them out and always wondered why they included turtles in papers about underwater hypoxic zones... thanks for answering that question!
The *anxiety* when Emily and Ed were just casually walking on a freshly frozen lake
Yeeeeah I saw her standing on the lake and I'm oooh that could've ended badly
Was low-key waiting for Emily to plunge through the ice xD
I was just Jelaus they actually HAVE a Frozen Lake. I am from Nothern Germany. We didn't have Snow this Year
That ice had minimal chance of breaking (to the point of them completely falling in) given how thick it appears. When given the chance, people in Minnesota like to skate on the "wild ice" of frozen lakes. In fact I guess this year was particularly good in conditions to do exactly that.
Especially at 6:19 when you see the ice cracking underneath their feet.
"just chillin'" "the coolest thing I've done"... The unintentional puns were thick in this one.
Took me a while to get it
Arnold Schwarzenegger would be proud
🤭😉
I have a feeling all the puns are very intentional...

"If a turtle loses its shell, is it homeless or naked?"

@@odilebartlett8191 the ice looks to be about 4 inches thick, so not thin at all

As a person from Wisconsin, that clip of the ice cracking as you walked scared me soooo bad 😂 my heart sunk a little
As a person from North Carolina, where pond ice almost NEVER gets safe to walk on, I was petrified!
Thankfully the water doesn't look very deep, it'd still be very cold to get drenched tho ❄️
A friend and I fell through the ice on a small pond when we were about 10. It was the very coldest I've ever been.

Yep

i love how informational the videos Emily and Ed create but they’re still really fun so you don’t lose interest 😁😁
Emily: posts
me: drops everything
also love the green/blue hair Emily!
Omg I went through all the comments trying to figure out why nobody was saying how cool Emily’s hair is. Glas I’m not the only one who noticed it :)
Amazing you guys have made the time to do great videos like this with all the work you are doing at your facility. Thank you!)
When the ice started cracking, my heart definitely stopped-
I'm so jealous of where you live! That's a perfect site to go ice skating!

In my neighborhood my house has the biggest pond so we kinda become the turtle sanctuary and I have always wondered what that do in the winter, this is really interesting...can they tell when your ice skating?
They can definitely tell, have you ever been in the bath underwater and ran your nail over the bathtub
Sounds wack 😁
This is so cool!
I am 32, always loved animal documentaries and nature shows, etc and I've never seen anything like this so thank you so much!!
She's walking on ice and says " I don't want to stomp, cuz I don't want to scare them."
This is such an awesome educational video! Thank you, Emily and Ed 😊
it may be called cloacal respiration, but butt breathing just has a better ring to it 😂
this is really cool!! when they look under the ice, it doesn’t even look like there is water, just little pockets of air the turtles are under!
"Gotta breathe through your butt!" - Ed's quote of the day
hope u n ed are nice n warm now..thank you so much for taking us along ur amazing adventures..

1:48 If you look next to him I actually think I see a painted turtle I don’t know if you guys saw that but look right next to his head
I like how you guys also brought up the anatomy of the turtle!
We learned this in our Science lessons, this year, and “butt breather” has become a normal term around our home. 🤣🤣🤣

1:48 there are 2 turtles there. Look closely.
This is one of the best science videos ever. Congratulations.
I’ve never been this early to a video, I guess being sick and having nothing else to do does that to a person lol
Wow I'm 54 and you learn something new every day I never knew that about Turtles thank you Happy New year Guys xxx
"Shellebrity" LMAO good one xD
The shots of the turtles under the ice are amazing
"Danger, thin ice"
Hummm >_>'
Those frozen bubbles are so cool.
Also love the hair Emily!
When your facility opens i am takeing my daughter here she loves u and has a albino pastel ball python
oh man that sounds soooo pretty
Yeah it does
Ty for putting in your time and determination to bring us these videos. I never would of guessed that took 3 days.
no one:

Kinda scared me when you were walking and I saw that ice crack. Btw I dig the hair.
Looks like I’m hibernating for now
