Gisele to the turtle rescue

To us she’s a supermodel, but to sea turtles she’s a superhero.

Gisele Bündchen saved a sea turtle’s life after finding it had been washed ashore upside-down trapped in a fishing net. The rescue was captured on video and shared to her Instagram. In the video, a distressed Bündchen, 41, begins to carefully disentangle the turtle from the discarded netting while speaking in Portuguese. Once she gets the netting off of the turtle, she’s able to turn it right side up, but after being trapped for so long, it wasn’t strong enough to bring itself back to the water — so Bündchen picked it up and carried it. The end of the video shows the turtle swimming away.
