Two different videos of humans rescuing a sea turtle have been combined together to falsely claim that a shark helped in saving the life of a sea turtle. In the first video, fishermen from Bahamas rescued a Sea Turtle being attacked by a Tiger Shark in 2020. Whereas, the second video is of a team of Marine Biologists saving a female Olive Ridley Turtle in the seas around Costa Rica in 2016.
See the three videos below.
The SCAM Video is on the left – notice how the boat is WHITE, the fisherman is WHITE and the video is a MIRROR IMAGE. This section of the scam video was lifted from the Kai Owen Fishing YouTube Channel.
The SCAM Video is on the left – notice how the boat is now BLUE, the rescuing fisherman is no longer WHITE NOR wearing black and has bracelets and the video is a MIRROR IMAGE. This section of the scam video was lifted from the Sea Turtle Biologist YouTube Channel.
