The Story of Leonard and Lula
Lula is an 11 month old toddler, and Leonard is an African Leopard Tortoise. Despite their differences, they are the best of friends. And somehow, playing together magnifies their individual cute factor by a gazillion and two. (via Neatorama and Tortoiseblog.)

They're Not Called "Snappers" for Kicks
CBS news reporter Tony Aiello almost got his nose bitten by an angry snapping turtle. Here's a hint, Tony -- snappers don't like to be used as props. And it's usually not a good idea to hold them too close to your face! (via pi8you)

Turtle Frustrated by Apple
There are two reasons why I posted this. The first is strictly educational. Snappers enjoy apples. Now you know. But I also think this video bears a striking resemblance to the cover Nirvana's Nevermind. Sure, it's a turtle and an apple rather than a baby and dollar, but I know someone out there on the web is waiting to sync this to Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Turtle Turtle Turtle Turtles
The title is a grammatically correct phrase.

P-P-P-Platypus Likes T-T-T-Turtles
Sometimes memes that are nearing the end of their trip around the internet latch on to another bigger, better meme to try and make themselves popular again. At least, that's my explanation for this.

Snapping WTFery
This woman is annoyed that a snapping turtle moved into her swimming pool. She should give him a break! It obviously took a lot of effort to get there. That pool isn't the slightest bit turtle-accessible.

Wheel Turtle
Thinking of visiting North Dakota? Don't miss the Wheel Turtle. In 1982, George Gottbreht erected a gigantic sculpture of a turtle by recycling 2,000 steel wheel rims. Charmingly, the sculpture's head is capable of bobbing up and down. But if you can't make it out to Dunseith, you can take a virtual tour.

The Hare and the Tortoise (1947)
This short film was the Milo and Otis of its day. It ends exactly the way you'd expect it to, but when's the last time you saw a fox, an owl, a skunk, and a bunch of random fowl hanging out together? Apparently in 1947.

Oil's Well That Never Ends
Stephen Colbert and a bunch of marine creatures demonstrate the proper way to express rage over the BP oil spill. I understand why Colbert is mad. After all, he has a sea turtle as a daughter. (via aestheticoctopus)

I Wanna Be A Turtle
When you're having a bad day, sometimes it helps to think like a turtle. So here's a cheesy turtle tribute, grumpy people of the internet. And if you like Jordan Weller's The Turtle Song, you can purchase it here.

Kids Sing the TMNT Theme
OK, I know you're thinking that there are lots of videos on the internet with kids singing the Ninja Turtle theme. But they're not wearing costumes like these.

NASTURTLE: Tortoise 500
NASTURTLE is about the need for speed. These reptiles are pure racing beasts. Forget about NASCAR and watch a real race. Seriously, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has nothing on Chocolate the Painted Turtle.

Turtle & Tortoise Share a Strawberry
Awwww. It's exactly like that scene from Lady and the Tramp. Except they're sloppy reptiles instead of dogs. And they don't have lips, so it's more like awkward headbutting than a kiss. But still, super cute.

Bowser Quits Kidnapping Peach and Starts Rapping
Move over Jay Z, the Bowser is taking over the rap game. I'm hoping for a Lady Gaga collab real soon.

The History of Turtle Racing
To honor the National Elementary School Turtle Racing Finals, College Humor is airing a six part mock-umentary about the sport. Episode one explores the unusual history of turtle racing. If anyone wants an expert's opinion (I'm looking at you, compulsive gamblers), my bet is on the box turtle with the whitewall shell.

Turtle Cheesecake
This is not a post about a tasty dessert with chocolate and pecans. This is a gross misuse of filters, cliche lines, and an innocent reptile. This is turtle cheesecake.
