Ian Somerhalder - Blue August 2011: Turtle Hatchlings 

And the award for hottest animal-loving enviromentalist goes to....Ian Somerhalder!!!!!

It's amazing that he's so down to earth that he cares about these sorts of things. That's what makes him so extraordinary.

"as i was born i´ve seen a coyote!!!" "Ha thats nothing...as I was born, I ´ve seen ian somerhalder" XDDDD sweet

As if we need more reasons to love Ian Somerhalder!!!

WOW. That is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.. Ian has such a big heart!

3:30 he's like a small kid with big shoes! CUTE AS HELL!

its amazing that the baby turtles just know to get into the water no matter what, gotta love nature

First time I was not gazing at Ian but at the little cute Turtles

Incredible footage! Most of us never get to see the true spender of nature taking place ! TY Ian for sharing!

Ian+camera! I'm so so soooo inlove!

aww yay turtles....! thank you for posting this. so happy to see the little babies. they make me smile i hope they all made it back safe in their later years.

like vampire craves for blood = baby turtles craving for water ...

Ian and baby sea turtles :) my heart just melted

Too beautiful!! Exciting how the little turtles know just what to do. The nature takes care of everything.

This is honestly amazing. It fasinates me because its these animal's natural instinct to go to the water. Such briliant footage. :)

this is truly an amazing thing to watch , I just loved the last bit in water .

Amazing. Just amazing how the babies instinctually know where to go and how to swim and breath. Nature is awesome.

The scenes they ended with were absolutely beautiful x

So Cool!! I wish I was their to record those beautiful little baby turrtles:):)

I wonder what those turtles feel when the water hits them for the first time? This is seriously one of the coolest things I've seen! I love that Ian was there to catch it!

the last minute is absolutely precious!

WHY COULDN'T THIS VIDEO BE LONGER ?!

I loved it , so amazing how they head for the Sea. You are so lucky to catch this.

3:25 Ians so cute filming the little turtle! XDDD

is so cool to see they just hatched and they are fighting for their life :)

I'm watching this and, despite the cuteness & ultimate solemnity of the moment, am trying not to giggle because it reminds me of a Ren & Stimpy episode.... with the exception of Ian, of course. He just makes it exceptional.

Ian+Baby turtles= Am I in heaven? I LOVE YOU IAN

3:25 poor lil ole turtle's like, "weave me awone, Ian" haha. Too cute:)

Hahaha, my friend here has just said "Have you heard him breathing in the end?" LOL. Come on, I am glad to read that many of you even noticed baby turtles on this video... Beautiful shots, btw. It´s cool to see what the turtles see as they crawl towards the ocean.

Ian + Lil' turtles: What a lovely combination!!!. Melts my heart..*.* Thank God for this wonderful man with a huge heart .. Could we all hopefully learn to appreciate our planet as he does through those beautiful eyes.. I'm just IN LOVE!!.. You're my man Ian.. #respect #support

Oh my god...beautiful video. I loved the end- so cool!

biggest impulse to reach through the computer and help the turtles pull themselves up from the ground.

I really love his love for animals No need to proof that he is a very good hearted man

This made me love Damon all the more! I just looove turtles! Keep up the great work Ian! You are beautiful!

The baby turttles r soo cute!

i must agree with ian, one of the coolest things ever and got see it in person.

Absolutely agree, these turtles are so special and need our support and help no better feeling than helping other species and our own when needed!

Ian you are so AWESOME never ever change

Yeah girl! What you said!! Only thing I would argue is that his gorgeous looks are not last on the list! Hes a beautiful person, inside and out.

lmfao, in the first 30 seconds of the video, i was looking at all the legs, trying to find which ones looked most like ians :) love him!!!!

OMG, this is beyond amazing! Very cute and touching! Good luck little turtles!

that's really cool, not even a minuet old and they're already doing so much work just to get out of the sand, then straight into the ocean, with out any adult turtles there to show them how. bravo little dudes

Ok, the water sounds in the last minute make me have to go pee! hahaaa

he reminds me of a little child he is so cute :DD

It's fantastic, all turtles, very cute. ;)

i love u ian...beautiful inside and out

I'd kill to be there to see it. So beautiful.

See now this is why I love Ian! Not for his good looks-that's the last thing on my list. Not for his characters- though I love them too. It's because no matter how sadistic and perverted his roles may be- no matter how twisted some of his evil scenes may be, when all is said and done Ian will always be himself. I love him for his honesty, for his southern background and how he lets it show, I love him for his compassion, for his love of animals, for his great sense of humor. And then his eyes

What an amazing thing to see!!! I would love to see that in my lifetime.

Wow, so cute the turtles are!

I love iansomerhalder and his humanity lol and I love turtles. too cute.

where can I found a man like him :(?

theres so many baby turtles i didn't know turtles could lay so many babies it's so beautiful wish i was there!

You must recognize ;) . It is too cute for our planet ( turtles ) but especially Ian

It was so sad when the turtle flipped on its back onto its brother awww ❤

Kinda trippy how instinct just tells these babies to go to the sea

CUTE! Love Ian! xoxo

AWWWW so cute when it's swimming away

Oh this is beyond amazing. Nature kicks our asses so bad : )

Soooo Cute.

That's too cute for our planet

It's so fascinating how they are programmed to find their way to the ocean...

Am I the only one who was like; "Yeah! Come on, you can do this! Keep going, yeaah! Oh hi Ian! Yeah keep goi- wait.. IAN!"

The turtle in the background from 4:05 - 4:14. Love.
