    Smart Turtle fends off attack from tiger shark

    Shell game: Watch as turtle deftly fends off attack from tiger shark near Australian coast

    Video recorded by a professional drone operator shows the turtle repeatedly use its shell to roll over the attacking tiger shark, in clear blue water near the Winderabandi coastline.

      You've got that right!!

      Turtles are a regular part of the tiger shark menu. Here you seem to have a less than competent shark up against a very competent turtle. I guess that "lizard brain" works pretty well sometimes.

        Well enough to become President of the United States, but not well enough to do the job competently.
