What animated turtle instructed children to "duck and cover" in the event of an atomic bomb explosion during the 1950s? Bert Shelley Franklin Sheldon ******** Answer: Bert the Turtle was a cartoon character created in the 1950s and used in a series of public safety films. He was created by the United States government to educate children about how to survive and protect themselves in the case of an atomic attack. While a catchy jingle played, the film’s animated hero, Bert the Turtle, was shown dropping to the ground (“DUCK!”) and retreating into his shell (“COVER!”) after a nuclear explosion. Burt was often seen wearing a metal suit and metal helmet to protect himself from nuclear radiation.
