The 15-second-long video shows the container sliding only to see an adorable little pooch getting outside, towards the end. Since the internet user who posted the video asked his followers to guess the kid of ‘turtle’ is being spotted in the clip, the netizens have come up with unique names for it and one of them have even said it is the 'best kind' of turtle.

Man swings glasses of water without
A video showcasing a ‘beautiful display of physics’ has left internet users astounded. Shared on July 2, the short-clip shows a man vigorously spinning two glasses of water in circles without spilling even a single drop of water. The jaw-dropping gravity-defying stunt seems to be magic, however, it is just a neat trick using basic physics.
The 59-second-clip starts with a man filling two glasses with water and placing one each at both ends of a long piece of rope. The man is then seen lifting the glasses up with the help of a rope. He then begins swinging them like a pendulum and within seconds he starts to twirl them around his head and vigorously spins them around in circles.

The video was uploaded on June 27 by an Instagram user and has been making rounds on social media since then. In the video, after taking the tasty treat from the baby's hand, the huge dog then starts licking his hand seemingly trying to lick it clean and savour any residue of the cheezy snack left in his hand.
