There is nothing quite as pure as watching animals try to eat cumbersome people food. Dogs and peanut butter, hamsters and crackers — it's a match made in viral video heaven.

But our personal favorite physical manifestation of cuteness comes in the form of turtles trying to eat strawberries. Their mouths are just too small to wrap completely around the strawberry, and their bodies too slow to chow down on the fruit. Adorable.

If you need to purify your internet browsing experience, take a moment to watch these turtles take some fantastic nibbles.

And if you're wondering whether or not these turtles should be going to town on fruit, don't worry animal fans — strawberries are perfectly safe for turtles to eat. In fact turtles love a variety of fruits and veggies, especially tropical fruit like papaya, guava, and banana.

A turtle's eyes might be too big for its stomach, but our hearts are just big enough for these tiny foodies.
