Watch these frozen turtles come back to life.
Painted turtles are the world’s most northerly turtles and to survive the freezing temperatures they have developed a unique hibernation method., a camera crew managed to film the turtles as they awoke from their deep slumber during which their hearts had stopped beating and only their brains remain slightly active.built a special filming chamber in Canada to record the tiny reptiles that are not much larger than a quarter., says that after speaking to reptilian expert Dr.
Drawing on Dr. Baker’s expertise, the film crew built a studio nest inside a cabin near the border of the United States and Canada — close to where the turtles live naturally. “Patrick had, six months earlier, in the Autumn, already collected the hatchlings from his study site, and had kept them for us, so he was ready with the collection of baby turtles all in deep winter sleep.”“The most fascinating moments were when the temperatures were raised to around 0 degrees centigrade [32 degrees Fahrenheit], and the turtles started to move for the first time in months,” says Atkins.
