Thanks for using my music!

I think that for a turtle to be considered S-Tier they should live in New York, love Pizza, and gain combat apprenticeship with a giant rat. They are also at their strongest during their juvenile state.

My question is who tf removed a turtles BRAIN

As a turtle myself,I can say this is accurate

The turtle's only Kryptonite: Some dude who calls himself Shredder

Teir S is obviously Oogway.

i think overall the hippopotamus is a better tank. what's lost in armor is made up in HP, and they can peel a frontline of cats much more effectively

I experienced a snapping turtle builds stealth early on in my playthrough, im a human build, and when i first started my build, I had been led to believe that all turtle builds went the pacifist route. When I approached the snapping turtle build I took serious damage, and had to be healed by older players who were helping me learn the game. I still have the [scar] debuff on my build today

Don't forget the best S tier turtle main to exist. He had maxed wisdom and invented kung fu. He ended his playthrough in a petal shower, simply logging off instead of losing his character. A legend.

I stopped playing as the sea turtle because humans started putting fake loot in the water that kills the sea turtles 🐢

6:07 Toxicity level: “league of legends player”

I showed my 2 tortoise this and I’m like “look! Your in the B tier ,that’s still good “ -Edit:haven’t seen this comment in while I got a lot of liked and comments lol

giant desert tortoises actually have pretty high intelligence for reptiles, showing in some cases that their memory of learned behavior can persist even after months of not executing said behavior

Thanks to this magnificent channel I now have "ostrich main" on my list of insults.

The mutant turtle build would be S tier. Especially during their teen years after some martial arts training. On a more serious note, great video. I'm loving this channel.

"Turtles are the first vertebrate to successfully incorporate a shell" Look what you've done! You made the placodonts sad. :( Well, sadder than they already were, given that they're all dead.

1:21 - Can we appreciate HOW GOOD this counterattack is?! **Lion briefly enters God Tier**

He made it, boys. He's sponsored.

He’s got a skill share sponsorship! My baby’s all grown up!

Tortoises may not be the best, but i got to give credit for that Galapagos tortoise player, Diego, that basically saved the entire G. tortoise player base by completing the main quest a bajillion times.

"Question: what kind of turtle is best? "That's a ridiculous question." "False. Snapping turtle." "Well, that's debatable. There's basically two schools of thought..." "Fact: turtles eat turnips." "(scoffs)" "Turtles, turnips, True Blood." "Turtles don't...What's going on? What are you doing?"

I swear, if we discover alien life, TierZoo is going to talk about a new expansion update Or a rip-off game.

7:50 I’ve actually heard stories of human players guarding sea turtle spawn points. Something to keep in mind if you have friends playing humans and you want to try out the sea turtle build.

6:06 Let’s just take a couple of seconds to process this.

The game-terminology and especially the Runescape bits continue to make TierZoo super entertaining

That transition into sponsor was amazing. I've never actually seen one that wasn't jarring until now.

I'm dying for a video on social insects, especially colonies, due to their potential rts playstyle.

2:46 power stat should be increased. Softshells have some of the most nastiest bites ever

I have learned from my experience in the game is that turtles have The Secret ability to teleport but it only works when no one's looking at them particularly humans

Can't beleive you overlooked the Diamondback Terrapin. - Tough Shell - Powerful Bite - Can survive in salt or fresh water - Can burrow for protection

1:22 that lion outplayed his opponent so hard 3000 hrs vs 200 hrs

Hey, TierZoo, I have a question. As you probably know, snapping turtle players can actually choose from two subclasses; the Common Snapping Turtle build, and the Alligator Snapping Turtle build. Would you say that one build is better than the other, or do they sit in the same place in the meta?

The common snapping turtle could be top tier...crazy mobility and speed, with a similar bite to the alligator snappers, while actively pursuing prey

If there was actually a game like this, I would pay a full 60 dollars for it.

What the frick did I just find

7:20 Is no one gonna talk about how this bird is a genius and a psychopath at the same time ?

Theres actually 2 types of snapping turtle, alligator snapping turtle is the one he mentioned and regular snapping turtles are aggressive

....Holy cow, some birds are smart enough to do a gravity drop on a turtle?! :o That's just plain cool.

"Had its head removed entirely and it lived for 23 days." o_0

1:22 can we just appreciate this lion and his mastery of his arts. Watch at x.25 speed

Turtle: surrounded by orcas Also turtle: *proceeds to spin like a plane propeller*

This channel is a gift to both entertainment, and education, truely

Side-neck play isn't nearly as risky as you make it out be. Just takes some getting used to.

The common snapping turtle should have been a separate build as it actually hunts in its pond and is a top predator

Dang, snapping turtles (and other creatures that use this tactic) are real life d&d mimics aren't they

so glad you got a sponsor

That lion kill was sweet! He juked the hell out of that wildebeest

I feel like snapping turtles should be slightly higher, specifically the Alligator snapping turtle variant. They are typically larger and stronger than regular snapping turtles and this lets them take on some of the top builds in their server. They can bully even young adult alligators around and their weight class and tendency to stay underwater also means no bird is going to try and teach it to fly, or they'll be taught to dive. Only the big max level gators can stand their ground.

Nice list! Only change i would make would be to bump up the snapping turtle to S tier due to their status as an Apex predator in their servers, and their ability to break into other servers. I would also bump down the sea turtles just a bit given how hard they are 99% griefed early game

This channel is freaking golden, such a cool idea, but more importantly, very, VERY well executed. Informative and educational, while being super entertaining with cool references to gaming. Man, I freaking love this

Wife: "Honey I think the baby is coming!" Me: "Alright dont panic, lets go-" [See's new TierZoo video is out] Me: "I'm sure you'll be fine for about 8 minutes right?"

As someone who owned several common snapping turtles and one alligator snapping turtle, I must disagree as to their intelligence. They are omnivorous, highly intelligent that don't just lure but can actively take down players larger than themselves. Some of the larger ones retain molbility while weighing 200-300lbs or more.

Aligator snapping turtle: am i joke to u😂🤣

I fcking love this channel, that sponsor is well deserved.

I love this channel so much

I think maybe a Box Turtle would be like in between S & A Tier since they have a hinge on their shells that can completely block their face off

Wood turtles have invested a decent number of points into intelligence, although I'm not sure if they unlocked the parental guidance trait

You have the best advertisement transitions

This video makes me wanna play real life

Hey man I'm curious where you'd rank the Leatherback Sea Turtle, they are giant soft shelled sea turtles that live for like 100+ years and only nest on certain beaches, where they hatched from, similar to salmon and rivers. They also hatch in the thousands per nest cuz they get bodied by a lot of different animals on their way to adulthood.

5:50 parribacus antatricus(a type of slipper lobster) be like: Im out Turtle: no youre not

Tier Zoo is an S rank KZfaq Channel!

I think your being a bit too hard on side neck builds. Their shells are stronger on average than cryptodirans and they are built to to negate their weaknesses. They can stay underwater for very long so they don't need to stay near the surface, and thus don't need to stay near to those who have a chance of harming them, waders. In large and deep bodies of water they are practically invincible. Fish player can't get their mouths around them and crustaceans players can't overpower them due to their size and speed, and when waders do manage to get them, they larger ones are to heavy to lift and can use their muscular necks to right themselves. They have free reign is large bodies of water and marshes and this has allowed them to be massively successful and as such are found on every server except Antarctica and North America due to absence of their preferred habitat and cold temperatures. Freshwater side necks out compete hidden necks in all habitats but small ponds and streams and North America. While on paper cryptodires have an advanatage , they other than the NA players(which have had room to experiment and try new things without side necks to compete with) can often be flipped and not be righted, and have smaller cloacal gills on average.

Jellyfish:are able to kill most animals in one shot Turtle: hold my coffee

The ironclad beetle is one of the few classes I think that outdoes these turtles in sheer base defense.

You should make a video on the plant metagame.

That toxicity chart xD

I found a 1foot long turtle in my garden. He huffed at me when I got close. It was really cute. But than he started making his way toward to street so I grabbed a towel, picked him up from behind, and brought him to the pond a few houses down.

Thanks bro,I used all these turtle tips and got a world record! You are amazing,I used the giant tortoise and mainly stayed in 1 spot.

This is how you KZfaq.

Lmao the AGS bait, I'd fall for it

Pancake hydrodynamics… single best line uttered by a human.

Thank you to the people who make subtitles

Your loyalty to Runescape is splendid! Never tarnish it.

the gold scar had me dead

This man deserves more subs I subscribed and liked these videos. Music is good reminds me of my childhood.

I get the logic of the placement for the soft shell, but i bet if this dude dealt with one, it would be higher.

"The venom of the jellyfi--" Reads the 2nd top Venomous: League of Legends Players. *Spit my coffee*

I never seen a side neck turtle before.

The snapping turtle you mentioned is the alligator snapping turtle, the common snapping turtle does not bait, and has a bit more mobility IIRC

Been watching this channel for years now and it got me interested in biology. Thank you TZ

I can't express how in love with this channel I am. You do amazing and interesting work dude.

The only issue is that for snapping turtle you used alligator snapping turtle,as the common snapping turtle goes for a more aggressive play style,chasing down kills.

6:05 As a LoL player: Is this a personal attack or something?

Turtles are actually not that stupid! Some species are, but they often have an amazing ability to recollect information and learn new "skills." They can even learn to react to the mention of their own names.

This is one of the few channels I follow where I've watched every single video. And I'm so glad you've made this video, I was hoping to see Turtles on here at some point.

This is honestly my favorite channel on KZfaq. I love nature, and learning about it, and you do a wonderful job putting it into easily understandable video game terms. On top of that, I'm a huge Runescape nerd, so that a huge bonus. Keep up the amazing work man.

7:32 make it diagonal

Dude you made me love animals again . Animals kingdom stay on my tv along with CN and Nick in the golden cable days

Never has a channel become one of my favourites so quickly, it's actually kind of scary... One video and I was hooked!

My dude has sponsorship. Bout time.

4:49 why does he look surprised that he crushed the watermelon 😂

This just randomly showed up in my recommended lol this is so good I love it

My boy got SPONSORED!!! Well earned man congrats.

This is high iq shit posting. Truly next level and definitely subbed

I’m a Snapping Turtle main myself, so seeing my play style so high on the list really makes me happy :)

The alligator snapping turtle needs to be in S tier, I encountered one of those things before and they are scary strong as heck. Somehow that sucker got to our driveway, and even animal control refused to come get it.

you got my like, especially with that gold scar. 😂

I just found this channel, It was a good, in depth lesson on turtles, yet you made it fun to watch and interesting, rather than a boring video I have to watch for school, it treats real life as if it's some sort of MMO with stats and loot. I would love a game like this. I'm glad my teacher recommended this

I got to say that I love your track picks.
