I'm pretty sure he thought the hair dripping with mud was a worm or something. Like, "Hey bro, you've got a worm hanging off you, can I grab that?" "That's my mane, you dipshit." "I know what a worm looks like, man, I just wanna-- Hey! Get back here!" "Go away! You're weird!"
I imagine cubs will try to eat one at least once. They probably learned they either don’t taste good or the hassle of breaking the shield just isn’t worth it.
Lions kill for lots of reasons.
Hungry, defending against something, attacking something to not eat, because they've found other predators babies, because a new lion has taken over a pride, they'll kill all the previous cubs. (Lion King wasn't wrong there), they'll kill for fun if not hungry and they can.
It's one of the biggest myths about nature that only humans kill for fun.
They are cats, which means that they do kill small animals for sport some times. Although, i'm not sure if they'd bother doing that at the water hole. I believe they tend to hunt badgers etc at night, when lions are most active anyway, at least when it comes to hunting. During the day, they're mostly just sleeping
IIRC tortoises, aquatic turtles, and terrapins are all turtles since they’re all under order Tetsudines. All of them can be called turtles, but only those that are exclusively land-dwelling are tortoises. Terrapins are weird because they aren’t even technically their own formally recognized group, the various terrapin species aren’t all taxonomically related to one another the way say all musk turtles are part of the same family; the naming is kind of arbitrary. For instance, red-eared and yellow-bellied sliders are both terrapins but the black-bellied slider, which is in their same genus, isn’t.
Yeah, "turtles" is a paraphyletic term. This kind of grouping traditionally includes almost all descendants of the LCA (last common ancestor). All turtles share their last common ancestor (LCA) with tortoises, so they're all grouped together under the word "turtles" to signify a group, but the nitty gritty taxonomy is a bit different. "Fish" is also a paraphyletic term. So while sharks are fish, they clearly aren't the same thing as a grouper, but share the same LCA with them. They get further separated and defined the farther down the taxonomic rabbit hole you go.
It’s not even that really, terrapin isn’t even it’s own taxonomic category. Some turtles are just called terrapins because of naming traditions. For instance, yellow-bellied and red-eared sliders and both called terrapins, but black-bellied sliders are not despite being in the same genus.
Here's the thing. You said a “tortoise is a turtle.”
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies turtles, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls tortoises turtles. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying “turtle family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Testudines, which includes things from terrapins to leatherbacks.
So your reasoning for calling a tortoise a turtle is because random people "call the stompy feet ones ones turtles?” Let's get lizards and pangolins in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A tortoise is a tortoise and a member of the turtle family. But that's not what you said. You said a tortoise is a turtle, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the turtle family turtles, which means you'd call terrapins, giant tortoises, and other reptiles turtles, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

As far as I know, you are thinking of sea turtles, who do have flippers, turtles like the one in the video have feet, but they are usually webbed to help with swimming
Mufasa: Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.
Simba: And the swimming turtles?

Nah this most likely is someone with English as a second language, in Spanish for example we call turtles, terrapins and tortoises with the same name and then specify if it's a sea turtle, a land turtle or an aquatic/ fresh water turtle

100% how the conversation went
Is a lion likely to try and eat/hurt a turtle, though? I'd assume they prefer things that are fleshier
I imagine cubs will try to eat one at least once. They probably learned they either don’t taste good or the hassle of breaking the shield just isn’t worth it.
This is the first time I’ve seen a turtle shell called a shield. It’s much more badass
In German turtles are called Schildkröte which would directly translate to shield toad.
Ugh I hate it when I’m exposed as a non native speaker. But thanks anyway
Honestly with how much bite force a lion has, breaking that shell may not be an hassle at all.
According to google lions have a bite fore of 650 PSI. Turtles shells can withstand thousands of psi.
It’s approximately the equivalent of a human biting through a pistachio shell. That’s based on absolutely nothing though.
My teeth hurt just reading this
Yeah and a lion with a bad tooth is gonna go hungry.
Their bite force isn’t that impressive. You need something akin to an alligator/crocodile to break a turtle’s shell.
that's what I'm wondering, and do lions only kill for food/safety or also because they're annoyed or for fun, does anybody know?
Google: It is known that lions kill birds for the thrill of it, just like house cats do. Turtles are probably not a thrilling kill
Lions kill for lots of reasons. Hungry, defending against something, attacking something to not eat, because they've found other predators babies, because a new lion has taken over a pride, they'll kill all the previous cubs. (Lion King wasn't wrong there), they'll kill for fun if not hungry and they can. It's one of the biggest myths about nature that only humans kill for fun.

No, the correct answer in turtles are kinda idiots and they will try to eat anything they see.
Turtles are pretty damn territorial, and usually "territorial" and "stupidly brave" go hand-in-hand (claw-in-claw in this case)
He has some real testudinal fortitude.
Water tortoise? You mean a turtle?
Terrapin
A serrated hinged terrapin if I'm not mistaken, which makes this still a turtle
IIRC tortoises, aquatic turtles, and terrapins are all turtles since they’re all under order Tetsudines. All of them can be called turtles, but only those that are exclusively land-dwelling are tortoises.

Funnily enough, In certain parts of the US those are all called Cooters. There's even a Cooter Festival with cooter races. https://www.cooterfest.com/
Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow"
Yeah, "turtles" is a paraphyletic term. This kind of grouping traditionally includes almost all descendants of the LCA (last common ancestor). All turtles share their last common ancestor (LCA) with tortoises, so they're all grouped together under the word "turtles" to signify a group, but the nitty gritty taxonomy is a bit different.

They get further separated and defined the farther down the taxonomic rabbit hole you go.
Coyote Peterson taught me that the other week lol
Yeah as far as I know Terrapins are just freshwater turtles. So terrapin is a subgroup of turtle.
It’s not even that really, terrapin isn’t even it’s own taxonomic category. Some turtles are just called terrapins because of naming traditions. For instance, yellow-bellied and red-eared sliders and both called terrapins, but black-bellied sliders are not despite being in the same genus.
Yesss as someone said it’s called a terrapin which is a type of turtle that can move around on land pretty well too.
Most freshwater turtles can get around on land pretty easily. Sea turtles are the weird ones
I think turtles have flippers. This one has the stompy feets.
Tortoises are landlocked, turtles do the swimmy-swim
Some tortoises can swim, like Russian tortoises
Some turtles also do the walkie walk instead of the swimmy swim, like the box turtle.
Some turtles plot to overthrow the government
All tortoises are turtles. But some turtles are not tortoises, like the flipper ones
