In this clip, a loggerhead sea turtle is released back into the ocean in Culasi, Province of Antique, Philippines.

The animal was caught in a fishing net.

Resident Tess Salazar Fortaleza said they were on the beach when a fisherman unraveled his net and found it.

The turtle shakes its flippers before getting into the water and swimming away.

Fortaleza said: "The turtle looked happy because it probably knew that the people weren't going to hurt it".

The footage was filmed on April 8.
