Why in Database: An eight-episode series exploring human presence in various parts of the world. The turtles appear twice, one is briefly seen in the first episode (“Oceans: Into the Blue”) as he goes about his business as a diver passes by. The second, much longer appearance takes place in episode seven (“Rivers: Friend and Foe”) where “farm turtles” are shown, there is also hunting a turtle for culinary purposes (you can also see turtle remains, the shell in which – already killed – he was baked, we do not show this on screenshots, of course).
