- Welcome back to What's Inside?
I'm Lincoln and this is Dan and today we have a crazy video
coming for you guys.
Today we have What's Inside a Turtle Shell?
- Look how cool that is, it's ten inches long
by seven inches wide.
This is an actual shell from a turtle and here's the top
of it with a nice hard shell.
Here's the bottom.
- I want to feel it.
- And there's the inside.
- Woah, that is heavier than I thought.
- So, a lot of you guys have recommended us to cut open
a turtle shell.
We didn't want to do it to a live turtle because
I don't think we need to explain why didn't need to.
- Yeah.
- So, instead we went to the place where
we get all great things.
- eBay,
woo!
- Yep, eBay, Amazon those are like the two go-tos
but from animal shells definitely eBay is the place.
- And wasp nests, and rattlesnake rattles,
all sorts of random stuff you can find on eBay.
- So, we wanted to take this back to its roots.
Yes, we could take a saw and cut into it and that
would be interesting.
But we thought let's thought harness the power of
where this came from, water.
And then I want to take a look at the clearer section of it
and take a look inside.
Not just to look inside, we can see inside of it right now.
You can see the spine that goes down,
it looks like some bones.
But, once we cut though the top of the shell
is there different compartments inside?
What exactly does it look like?
So, let's go give this thing a go and see if we can
cut it open with some water.
- It's going to be interesting.
- We have the turtle shell and it's glued to the rhino board
so it's not going anywhere.
We're going to run it straight across so that we can
see its spine and see everything inside of it.
Alright turtle, water, the thing you lived in for your
whole life is now going to be
the thing that cuts you in half.
It's kind of poetic.
Okay so first, let's clean her off a little.
We're through, that was really fast.
(laughs)
- I got it!
- You got it, let's look inside this turtle.
Are you going to wear it as a mask, what's that?
What is that?
You're like I'm gonna put it on my face.
That's the first thing I wanna do.
- Yeah.
- That's really interesting I thought that there would
be more of a airspace in between the different
layers of its back.
But really the only place that you can see space
is in its spine.
Yeah, you can see that there's just a hole right there.
But we were in the Smithsonian in DC a couple months ago
and we saw a bunch of turtles that were actually cut in half
and it looked like some of them had compartments in them.
So, this isn't going to be like every single type of turtle
there are differences in the different types of
turtle shells.
- That was so easy to cut.
I don't understand how.
It went like, it was like three minutes, what four.
- It was fast.
It was really fast but this thing cuts metal.
That was a lot of fun guys.
We have three announcements for you
