Unlike many of the animals we\u2019ve seen in the past, he skips the red part of the watermelon and chomps on the rind instead. Saving the best part for last, I guess.

It\u2019s a video of a man eating watermelon. There\u2019s no exciting conclusion or plot twist at the end. Just eight full minutes of an ordinary man eating a watermelon. It\u2019s proof that you really can find a video of just about anything on YouTube.

It\u2019s a baby tortoise, and he really goes to town on a chunk of watermelon. Seriously, how cute is this guy?! Of course, he\u2019s cute now, when he\u2019s a baby.

He won\u2019t be nearly as adorable in the year 2113, but he\u2019ll be flying around with a little turtle jetpack by then, so it doesn\u2019t really matter.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JzLowRTRDLA\" width=\"549\" height=\"412\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-dm-button-id=\"download-master-button-478508973\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This will be my last blog entry before Thanksgiving, so I\u2019d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy holiday.
