To know the meme behind the design, scroll to the joke part below
Turtles are unique reptiles known for their distinctive shells, which serve as protective armor. The shell is made of two parts: the carapace (top) and the plastron (bottom). These are fused with the turtle’s ribs and spine, making them an integral part of the turtle’s body. Turtles hide inside their shells when threatened, retracting their heads, legs, and tails into the shell for protection. Some species, like box turtles, can completely close their shells, while others, like sea turtles, can’t fully retract their limbs but still rely on their tough, streamlined shells for defense. Turtles’ shells are also adapted for their environments, offering buoyancy for aquatic species and camouflage for land species.
Some species of turtles can grow to be huge and (weigh a lot). For example, the leatherback sea turtle is the largest of all turtle species, reaching lengths of up to 7 feet and weighing as much as 2,000 pounds (900 kg). These massive turtles are known for their leathery, flexible shells, unlike the hard, bony ones of most turtles. Other large species, like the Aldabra giant tortoise and the Galápagos tortoise, can also weigh several hundred pounds and live for over 100 years. Their size and weight provide them with some protection from predators, and they are well-adapted to their environments.
“Tutel” meme, which is based on a viral video where someone visits a zoo, sees a turtle, and humorously calls it “tutel” instead of “turtle.” The way the word is pronounced and the situation quickly gained popularity due to its absurdity and simplicity, leading to widespread use in meme culture.
The meme usually features the clip paired with the song “Tutel” by Sofía Castillo (also associated with the viral trend). The catchy song, combined with the mispronunciation of “turtle,” became a fun, light-hearted internet trend, with people remixing and sharing the clip in different contexts. It’s a great example of how absurd humor and catchy tunes can make for a viral sensation!
T95
The T95, also known as the T95 Tank Destroyer or T28 Super Heavy Tank, was a massive American prototype developed during the late stages of World War II. Designed to break through heavy German fortifications, the T95 was equipped with a powerful 105mm gun (105 mm T5E1 cannon) that can penetrate over 240 mm of armor at 1000m range, using the T29E3 APCR shell (Armor-piercing composite rigid), and featured extremely thick armor 305 mm of armor for both the frontal hull and turret, making it one of the heaviest tanks ever built, weighing around 86.2 or 95 tons (depends on variant and actual vs prototype).
The tank was powered by a gasoline engine and had a unique with only 500 hp (Horse Power), providing a PTWR (Power-to-weight ratio) 5.8 hp/t only, and max speed of only 13 km/h forwards and 4 km/h reverse, wide-tracked design to support its enormous weight. However, it was slow and cumbersome, and its limited mobility and high production costs led to the cancellation of the project after only two prototypes were completed. The T95 never saw combat, but it remains a notable example of WWII-era heavy tank design.
The joke
As the T95 looks like a turtle, acts like a turtle, weights as a turtle, moves like a turtle, and hides like a turtle, yet it isn't a turtle, it is a Tutel for the (SNAIL) community (War Thunder players).
