This gull is using the turtle in the Mediterranean Sea as both a resting spot and a vantage point to scout for food, a common opportunistic behavior.
Gulls conserve energy while staying alert for fish or other prey. If you look closely in the video, you’ll see a school of small fish swimming directly under the turtle for protection, using its size as a shield from potential predators.
