More Really Cold Turtles
Rescue workers found more than two hundred stunned sea turtles in St. Joseph Bay today. This is in addition to dozens of sea turtles already suffering from the sudden cold snap in the southern US. Most aquariums and research centers are only able to take a handful of turtles and need help.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!
Push in dire situations. I have this bookmarked in case Gamera attacks.
Spider-Turtle!
Spider-turtle, Spider-turtle, does whatever a Spider-turtle...hurdles? Hm. Guess it doesn't quite work.

Really Cold Sea Turtles
Unseasonable cold weather has endangered the lives of dozens of sea turtles in the southern US. Thankfully, there are rescue teams in various states working to save them. See more video footage from Florida here. If you can spare a dime, the turtles will appreciate it.

Christopher Lee to Release Metal Album
Since turtle news is slow today (as ever), I give you Christopher Lee's forthcoming metal album. Follow the link for music samples. Yes, this is for real.

Turtle (Furry) Power!
I think this is a female TMNT furry. Is it possible to be a turtle furry? Turtles don't have fur, after all.
Turtle Classic Movies
Turtles re-enact classic movies. An oldie, but a goodie -- haven't you dreamed about turtles performing Star Wars? For more turtle parodies, check out the Turtle TV Network.
Cosplay Failures
Oh dear. Sometimes it's best to just pick a different costume. More costume fails (including Bowser) at funtasticus.com.
Jumping Turtle
The turtle is obviously annoyed because its owner was unwilling to pay for the surgery necessary to transition into being a frog.
My, That's a Lot of Turtles.

Releasing Baby Sea Turtles
Who doesn't love watching baby sea turtles book it for the ocean? Three cheers for all the volunteers in Costa Rica who helped these little guys get a good start this year.
