LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to animalquestions.org, if a turtle is unable to turn over and right themselves, they can die of starvation.
A young girl from Taiwan on a field trip to the Taipei zoo witnessed first hand a turtle turned over onto its back and in turn, the amazing world of animals.
Be the hero in a dire situation: your donation can make a difference.
While the anticipation is brewing as the fate of the overturned turtle doesn't look promising, another turtle comes to the rescue.
The turtle companion becomes a hero for not only the turtle, but for the audience.
The audience initially reacts to the turtle on the back with shrieks of terror. The terror is replaced with squeals of relief when they see the other turtle coming to the rescue.
This inspiring video of nature at its best has reached nearly one million views on Youtube.
Perhaps watching a turtle come to the aid of another turtle in dire trouble will show the world that small acts of kindness can change a person's whole life.
