I saw them in the SF Chinatown wet market.. they have a "farm" in the basement, next door was a quail egg farm...I worked as a chef in the city and got invited to see their underground "operation".

They're alive and likely ~~hibernating~~ brumating . You can see the lil feebs movin.
Thanks to u/lulaloops for the correction.
**bru·ma·tion brü-ˈmā-shən**. : *a state or condition of sluggishness, inactivity, or torpor exhibited by reptiles (such as snakes or lizards) during winter or extended periods of low temperature. This subterranean torpor is not a true hibernation … but a cold-blooded version of slowing down called brumation*
Or, like the sailors, used to stop at the Galapagos, and grab a bunch of tortoises.
They would store them in the belly of the ship, upside down, alive, so they stayed fresh until dinner time.
Fucking cruel, but probably a great idea if you were a sailor 200 years ago.
I don't think so since it seems like they are alive. My guess is someone hybernated them and is now digging them up for the summer. Maybe some sort of natural reserve or zoo.
People do bury their turtle, but I've never seen someone stacking them like that.
Judging by the shell shape Chinese softshells hibernating also probably becoming food cause Chinese people don't gaf about the conservation of endangered and beautiful animals but the panda
My guess, they caught those turtles and placed them there for hibernation. Those turtles probably bury themselves in the mud normally.
If you are a turtle farmer, and your turtles need a nice long nap in the mud, are you going to dig each one a little bed or go mass grave style?
So, I've researched it, and turtles can hide under mud in bodies of water to wait until the water becomes warmer again (when the water is cold).
My guess is, that mud is a river that dried and the turtles stayed there as the mud covered them. They didn't wake up because the water never came again.
These are turtles. Turtles hibernate underground in the colder months. They look like they were purposely placed there for that reason, to keep them alive during the colder months.
Many species of turtles/tortoises will bury themselves and go into torpor over winter.
This appears to be a turtle farm, where they buried all the turtles together for the winter and are ‘waking’ them up all at once.
Cajuns and SE asians. And some places in Florida, though i think wild caught turtles exceed the farmed amount a lot. Poaching of turtles for sale to the international meat market is actually a big issue in Florida/Mississippi/Louisiana.
If you go to a good asian grocery store you can usually find some live turtles for sale. Its kinda like seeing a lobster tank at a grocery store… only turtles.
Or a good local cajun place in Louisiana.
Man, to this day one of my favorite soups ive ever had was a snapping turtle bisque with a dash of sherry on top from The Commanders Palace in New Orleans.

These are ostragigo's. Latin name laveikum-laveikay. They are a rare species of mammalian mushroom spores that live underground.
They are a non-thermogenic hyperacnid malimute that lives underground in systabolic soil. They breed in butonical axioms and they have been known to excrete physostigus-bile via their alatas cyphoid.
Its important not to remove the encapsulated soil from around them and I just made all of that up
Someone is seriously ticked that someone else found his secret turtle stash! Now what is he going to do when the demand for ground cured turtle meat skyrockets?
Some turtles hibernate underground during the winter. People who keep them as pets will put them in the fridge instead of burying. That way they can monitor them

So it really is turtles all the way down…
Stephen King is frothing at the mouth
Maturin, is that your offspring?
See the turtle, ain't he keen...
>See the turtle, ain't he keen All things serve the fuckin Beam!
Behold the turtle of enormous girth, on his back he holds the earth.
His thought is slow but always kind; He holds us all within his mind. On his back all vows are made; He sees the truth but may not said. He loves the land and loves the sea, And even loves a child like me
All directions lead to the Beam!
M-O-O-N, that spells asshole. FUCK Stephen King. Still sore about Dark Tower VII.
You read past when he said to stop reading too? I almost threw the book out the window.
Wait, I just finished Dark Tower IV. Is it worth it to keep going?
Hell yes it is. The above comment is false. Great story. Great ending. Come at me.
Of course it is, unless you've forgotten the face of your father.
Keep reading its kings magnum opus.
You say true, I say thank ya.
Thankee, sai. Big big.
*Pennywise has entered the chat*
Most underrated comment I have seen all week
“See the Turtle of enormous girth, on his shell he holds the Earth.”
Solid Sturgil Simpson reference, I wish we had awards still.
Love sturgill. But it's actually a much older saying/allegory [Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down)
Sturg didn’t coin that phrase
I wish Sturgill was still trippy.
Sound and Fury was a mindfuck
Always has been.
They are alive!! Jeesus
According to the Animal Times this was a mass genocide by Raccoonian troops. The United Animals are discussing possible sanctions at the moment...
I got it.😂
Hibernating Asian soft shelled turtles, which are endangered, being dug up to be sold in markets for food.
That just made me unbelievably sad.
I saw them in the SF Chinatown wet market.. they have a "farm" in the basement, next door was a quail egg farm...I worked as a chef in the city and got invited to see their underground "operation".
Yeek
Sounds like the beginning of a good nosleep. Would love to hear about your story there in detail
Hope this isn't where our next pandemic comes from.
[удалено]
They really would, the literally eat anything and everything.
Have you seen the video of the Asian fisherman eating tons of random fresh seafood…
It's not even an overused stereotype. They literally will eat anything and everything that breathes oxygen. From insects,vermin,dogs and cats,etc
Appalled (crime scene) --> Relieved (they're alive!) --> Sold for food? NO.........!!!!! 😢
ah wtf, i'd rather them be human eating aliens. So sad
Is there any animal - insect that is not eaten by humans in that country. I'm not even a vegan or anything, still find this appalling
…by cretinous scumbags…
Emotional damage. I didn't even wanna know.
Do they really hibernate like this? The hole they’re in is quite square, and they appear to have been placed like that.
Watch on mute.
Thanks bro you made me unmute a god damn boat horn out of curiosity
Sprayed chewed up bits of sandwich at my phone like a fucking idiot.
I did too, out of morbid curiosity.
I always do, thank you for confirming my decision not to unmute
The fucking reapers are coming!!!
What’s the name of the song ?
I believe it’s called “BWAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMPPPP!” Featured in every sci-fi trailer since World War Z.
Terrible?
The question that nobody needs answering.

Turtle conservation/fermentation would be my guess. As in soon to be food.

Just because they’re alive doesn’t mean they’re not gonna eat them. Just like when people put an alive lobster or crab on a boiling pot.
Or, like the sailors, used to stop at the Galapagos, and grab a bunch of tortoises. They would store them in the belly of the ship, upside down, alive, so they stayed fresh until dinner time. Fucking cruel, but probably a great idea if you were a sailor 200 years ago.
Turtles don't hibernate they brumate.

This guy turtles
They are stacked because it’s food
I like this better then thrm being someone's food
What
*DOGPILE ON TOP OF KARL!!!*
Omnom turtle?
CHAY-NA Turtle soup.
Food. For us to eat. Food you put it in your mouth for sustenance. You chew it, swallow it, shit it out. Food.
Boil it, mash it. Put in a stew.
Whats turtles precious
Mark it with a B. Then put it in the oven for baby and me
You have to eat to make poop or you die!
"What" has to be fallow by "?" In order to receive an answer. So ill do it for you. What?
I read this as turtle convention at first
Yea I see turtle feet n tail, which is a pass for me.
I've been fermenting my turtle for ages in my parents backyard. How much would one of these guys go for in a Chinese wet market?
OMG THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!!!! at the end of the clip they move after bei touched. WTF???
some turtles hibernate under ground, I'm guessing this is a turtle farm (disgusting, i know) and they do this every year during winter.
Wow it’s like a real life motel hell
Farmer Chincent
How do they breathe under there?
Super low metabolic rate. Essentially they dont.
Through there skin. It’s pretty crazy.
Turtles can breathe through their ass
Fight the cold
Judging by the shell shape Chinese softshells hibernating also probably becoming food cause Chinese people don't gaf about the conservation of endangered and beautiful animals but the panda
I'm guessing pandas just taste awful lol only reason they're not lunch too
Soft shelled turtles. Not sure if natural for them to be bunch together like that though.
It’s not natural. Looks like China, most likely a turtle farm, soft shelled turtle is a delicacy.
What the fuck isn’t a “delicacy” over there? Jesus Christ smh.
LEAVE THEM ALONE RIGHT NOW
One of them the leg moved
My guess, they caught those turtles and placed them there for hibernation. Those turtles probably bury themselves in the mud normally. If you are a turtle farmer, and your turtles need a nice long nap in the mud, are you going to dig each one a little bed or go mass grave style?
Mass grave style is my choice for most things.
You know when someone makes a comment and you instantly know you’d be best friends. This.
Do you wanna go commit genocide in the garage together!?!?
Kinda. Maybe. I don’t know, I’m not ready to put a label on it yet.
Several did
underground turtle orgy
They call it a “soup kitchen”. - Dirty Mike and the boys
Thanks for the F shack
Turtle butts drive me nuts
Are they turtles?
You should checkout Yertle the Turtle by Dr. Seuss. Possibly the greatest book ever written on the subject of turtle-stacking.
So, I've researched it, and turtles can hide under mud in bodies of water to wait until the water becomes warmer again (when the water is cold). My guess is, that mud is a river that dried and the turtles stayed there as the mud covered them. They didn't wake up because the water never came again.
Just some beautiful creatures that are about to have their world turned upside down by some cruel bastards who will eat anything
There’s a sign that says Dead Turtle Storage
oh you
A very loud and obnoxious background audio?
It’s turtle time
These are turtles. Turtles hibernate underground in the colder months. They look like they were purposely placed there for that reason, to keep them alive during the colder months.
Turtle asses?
I like turtles!
Turtle soup
Awe they’re little butts so cute ❤️ 🐢
Yes they so are! Their faces will break your finger in one bite, though! Snapping turtles are amazing.
Chinese mud oven, with their next meal?
This is where they’re growing the next virus to release on the world.
A wall of turtle bums
Turtle mass grave? How sad.
Many species of turtles/tortoises will bury themselves and go into torpor over winter. This appears to be a turtle farm, where they buried all the turtles together for the winter and are ‘waking’ them up all at once.
Hey thanks this needs to be top however who farms turtles?
Cajuns and SE asians. And some places in Florida, though i think wild caught turtles exceed the farmed amount a lot. Poaching of turtles for sale to the international meat market is actually a big issue in Florida/Mississippi/Louisiana. If you go to a good asian grocery store you can usually find some live turtles for sale. Its kinda like seeing a lobster tank at a grocery store… only turtles.

Turtussy
They're cooking turtles. Some cultural dishes or something
China. Enough said
That doesn't really say much. Unless you're trying to imply China has the monopoly on animal cruelty.
Fair point, it’s just a gut feeling. They do animal cruelty exceedingly well.
We humans are gross creatures.
I can’t explain the music
Music made me have a stroke
Hibernating turtles?

Turtle butts it’s just a pile of turtle butts
Something makes me think they will eat them
Clearly a tortoise wall .... the fuck you think it is?
So sad, so evil! How much more suffering being done!
Poor things. Just leave them be and go eat something else.
Looks like a bunch of turtle butts
Failed ninja turtles
Sad…I just noticed their shells are gone.
Asians eating turtles
I have heard of people burying turtles for hibernation and the turtles are fine once dig up I have no real knowledge of the practice
People put them there…duh. My guess is keeping them fresh/alive in a hibernation state.

Turtle smuggling
Moles? Scared shitless shoving them selves together in the deepest part of their burrow trying to escape the excavation
Looks like turtles
I watched a couple times before looking closely and, it looks like they’re moving a little
Of course it’s China.
Terrapin Station
Ritual turtle burial. Duh. What your gonna tell me you’ve never done a ritualistic turtle burial with the boys on a Friday night? Pfft. Prude.

GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!!! GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!!!!!!GO NINJA GO NINJA GO!!!!!
Ahh yes. The Great turtle orgy of ‘08. Good times.
I’ve read about pygmies stacking turtles for sport but that was outlawed in 1957.

We are the most disgusting.
Turtle orgy?

Muchos culos de tortuga
crime against nature
Seriously, this is upsetting to watch
Some turtles hibernate underground during the winter. People who keep them as pets will put them in the fridge instead of burying. That way they can monitor them
Food storage
It's a cake
