A sea turtle found a waterproof camera in the Caribbean, filmed itself and is now a YouTube sensation.

In May, US Coast Guard agent Paul Schultz found a digital camera in a waterproof case on a Florida beach and posted images he found on its memory chip on the Internet in an attempt to find its owner.

In a video clip dated January "a turtle came across the camera, and it's really hard to tell how, but it turns the camera on and recorded itself.
