This is an interesting story. Apparently, someone found a waterproof camera, which contained an odd video. If you surmise from what is filmed, it seems the camera was lost, and, after an unmentioned period of time, had its strap entangled on the fin of a sea turtle. The sea turtle somehow activated the camera through battering it, and filmed itself swimming through the ocean with the camera for a few minutes. The film is erratic, as expected, but clearly shows the camera surfacing and dropping down, shots of the plastron and fin of the turtle, what looks like the turtle attacking the camera with its beak, a shark, and a school of tropical fish. Hard to know whether it is legit or not, but the story seems belieavable.  Pretty funny....
