This is the amusing moment turtles were sunbathing in their enclosure.

The reptiles enjoyed basking in the 32 degrees Celsius heat on a sunny day in Mie Prefecture, Japan, on October 1.

Timelapse footage shows the animals resting on a platform while their companions swim around it.

Researchers suggest that turtles bask in the sun to regulate their body temperatures. It also helps them dry out their shells, reduce harmful parasites, and may even help protect against viral infections.
