But joke’s on you, because this video _is_ a big deal and it _is_ going to make you feel a bunch of feelings. When one turtle spotted a fellow turtle stuck on its back, it bravely came to the rescue, carefully but deliberately turning it over until it was standing on its own feet once again. It’s really such a beautiful moment. They both pause, letting this burgeoning turtle romance sink in for just a second, before waddling (do turtles waddle?) off into the sunset. As Taylor Swift [might say](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xg3vE8Ie%5FE): It’s a love story, baby just say yes. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3635713/turtle-flips-over-fallen-friend/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3635713/turtle-flips-over-fallen-friend/"},"headline":"This Video Is a Turtle Love Story Baby Just Say Yes","datePublished":"2014-12-16T15:27:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:15:22.694Z","description":"Romeo helps Juliet who has fallen on her back and then they ride off into the sunset","url":"https://time.com/3635713/turtle-flips-over-fallen-friend/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","viral","Taylor Swift"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt92a7b217c67cfa61/69876f14e20a877197a840ca/screen-shot-2014-12-16-at-10-08-38-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt92a7b217c67cfa61/69876f14e20a877197a840ca/screen-shot-2014-12-16-at-10-08-38-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-12-16 at 10.08.38 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3635713/turtle-flips-over-fallen-friend/","name":"This Video Is a Turtle Love Story Baby Just Say Yes"}}]}] ```
