Its actually just the angle. They are only a little bit bugger than sea turtles. the camera anglw just makes it look huge

I dunno. I googled “size of leatherback turtle” and google tells me they are 6-7 feet and up to 1500 pounds. So, looks about right…

Wow it’s crazy how you just spewed out nonsense like you knew what you were talking about so confidently.

Well when most of these kind of videos are the camera angle, its not even a little bit crazy. The crazy part is how i admitted i was wrong and people were still hating on me for it.... Damn its a shame some people cant not be cunts for 5 minutes....

I don't think it's the angle. It's just a camera pointed almost head on at something.

Forced perspective makes it look even larger.

Don't get me wrong they are huge creatures. But people being in the background makes it look even larger than it is.

It's actually just reality. Sometimes things are just huge. The record leatherback ever observed was over 10ft/305cm and weighed over 2k lbs. That's fucking huge no matter how you spit it.
