Gisele Bündchen saved a sea turtle’s life after finding it had been washed ashore upside down while trapped inside a fishing net. The rescue was captured on video and shared to her Instagram.
In the video, a distressed Bündchen, 41, squats down and immediately begins to carefully de-tangle the large upside down sea turtle from the discarded netting while speaking in Portuguese.
“Early this morning I was walking on the beach and Onyx started barking at a pile of ocean trash that had washed during high tide,” she wrote alongside the video.

“I trapped a spider in a jar and took it outside where it probably froze to death.”
Correct. I read somewhere that there is a reason why the spider was inside! I used to trap them and set them “free” when the kids were young.
Daddy long-legs get to stay in the basement and garage and catch insects. The big hair ones get squished. Although I do still feel bad about it.
YUm!
Turtle stee
Only a supermodel can manage to make a photo shoot of it and make a self-congratulary post of it for her Instagram account!
Nice thing she did. Supermodel or not, she has a good heart.
A hole in one.
just happens to have a camera crew from Brazil with her but she carries a huge sea turtle .
And?
Agreed.
An explanation I’ve heard is that a model can’t be too pretty, because then the people will look at her instead of the clothes (or whatever else) she’s modeling, which would defeat the object of the exercise.
I think she’s so cool. Forget about saving a turtle and being a super model- she can have most any guy she wants and she’s always there backing her husband. She goes crazy at games when he wins, she’s pissed when they lose. Here’s a pretty cool interview with her.

The sea was angry that day...
No turtles were harmed in the making of this video.™
Let no good deed go unpunished.
Worth more then her husband Tom Brady.
Kinda unfair. She’s 41.
Thank you for providing. I enjoyed it. She is super cool.
It looked like the turtle was a prop. A prop turtle that did not kill anyone. Hilaria Baldwin, are you watching ?
This is about a random act of kindness, not fame and glory. Good for her.
Surprisingly strong for a model!
If I knew that sea turtles understood Portuguese, I would have learned the language.
And isn't squatting what you're supposed to if you get bit by a jellyfish?
Bündchen isn't the great humanitarian though. She caught Brady in her net and hasn't let him go.
