You Tube Tuesday - Proving Pet Turtles are Fun

I hope you will agree that this week's video squashes the myth that having a pet turtle is no fun.

Indonesia is Home to the Most Endangered Species!

I've just learned that Indonesia is home to the highest number of.endangered animals. Much of the problem can be contributed to incidents like this where someone attempted to smuggle 1,500 pig nose turtles!  Op-Ed: Protected turtles found 'crammed like sardines' into suitcases

James Durr says, "Durrrrr... I didn't know."

James Durr, deputy mayor of North Hanover Township, has plead guilty to harassing endangered bog turtles by damaging their habitat.  News - philly.com. I find it quite ironic that his surname is Durr.  Has he claimed guilt through ignorance in the past?

YTT - Turtle Burgers

I decided to continue the turtle shaped food theme at least one You Tube Tuesday post longer... just in case someone besides me hopes to have a themed party one day with lots of silly turtle shaped food.  Of course, if you eat a simple, low-carb diet, you can have a turtle burger any day you want!  Why wait for a party?!

Once Lost, Now Found!!

One Christchurch family is rejoicing this weekend because their red eared slider turtle, London, found his way home. I love stories like this!

Turtle Crossing

Sometimes slight modifications are all it takes to save an animal population. Vermont knows that. So, they created little tunnels under a stretch of train tracks where the turtles needed to go from one swamp to another. Bravo!!!
