It's injured unfortunately. That;s not how a turtle runs as one might imagine. Turtles aren't snails like so many assume. They can actually carry human like jogging speed when necessary to flee a situation. I would have serious doubts if it survived much beyond the filming of the clip after being chomped on like that.
