Questions about turtle walking several times faster

1 month ago 46

Saw this on Twitter a few hours ago and got some questions. Is it the same for the turtle and its brain to move at such increased speed (easily 10, 20x faster, ed: adjusted ratio)? Did it need some adjustment, would have that been slow or instantaneous? And if the turtle uses the skate for a few weeks and then it's removed, will it get used to the slow translation movement again?

Shouldn't that be equivalent to a human walking at the speed of sound, wouldn't he just miss whichever stop he wants to make?
