Motivational Turtle
To those of you teetering on the precipice of despair: fear not. If this turtle can become motivated again, so can you.
Interspecies Dating
When turtles flirt, they flicker their claws at each other.
Turtle Writes to BP
The news about BP killing sea turtles in the controlled burns really upset my Red Eared Slider. Turtles aren't allowed to sign the petition against it, so she decided to write BP a letter instead.
Tortoise Wake Up Call
They say you should let sleeping dogs lie. Luckily there's no such adage regarding cats.
The Animals Speak
School children in "Mrs. P's" classroom provide the voices of Australian wildlife. You can't go wrong here; these are cute AND educational.
The Amazing Spider-Turtle
I'm going to file this video under "impressive things that turtles do," "things that induce heart attacks," and "people who should not own turtles." Oh, and turtle owners? Please turtle-proof your homes so your Red Eared Sliders can't climb the walls. That is all.
Hungry As a Wolf
This is probably avant garde, but I'm guessing I'm too slow (hur hur) to understand the deeper meaning of this video. But HEY, it's a super cute tortoise eating tomatoes with some funky music playing in the background. And isn't that all the internet really wants?
The Dancing Turtle
OK, I'll admit it. This turtle dances better than me. I'd say she's cuter than me too. This is exactly why I can't get a date anymore.
Toe Hunting Terrapin
I squealed along with the camerawoman while I watched this video. This is a Diamondback Terrapin, and it's gonna chase you down and get your toes.
Turtles Do the Darnedest Things
My turtles have managed to get themselves stuck in some pretty unusual places, but they've never done anything as odd as this. Luckily, some good Samaritans came along and helped this turtle out.
BP is Burning Sea Turtles Alive
Mike Ellis is a boat captain who's been rescuing the endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtles near Deepwater Horizon. He's got some pretty horrifying news to share: BP is burning turtles caught in the oil spill and turning away rescue workers who want to save them.
Tortoise Rider
This little kid is so lucky! My mom wouldn't even let me thumb a ride on the neighbor kid's power wheel without a helmet.
Daredevil Turtle
AHHHHHHH. This almost gave me a heart attack! You're a brave fellow, little turtle, but MAN are you crazy.
Terrible Fathers Day Gift: Embroidered Toilet Paper
So there are lots of awesome things you can buy your dad for fathers day... and then there's a lot of not-so-awesome things you could buy him. Maybe someone would appreciate this, but I would just be disappointed. And perhaps a little confused as to who would make these.
TMNT Ascii Face Buttons
If you're into geeky buttons and Ninja Turtles, these may be for you. Etsy user Slevin11 has some really adorable TMNT pins for $5. Although I think Michelangelo is more of a @_@ face than a >_< face.
The Importance of Tortoise-Proofing the Home
Tortoise owners, you should always keep toxic chemicals where curious reptiles can't reach them. I used to have a bag of Miracle-Gro on the lowest shelf in my garage, but I had to relocate the bag after a little mishap.
Kitten Rides Tortoise
Dog-who-rides-tortoises, you have been challenged!
Tortoise Rides a Hovercraft
Tortoises, unlike turtles, don't really like to swim. So it's only natural that they'd want to learn to drive a hovercraft. This little guy is getting some practice time on the floor before he gets his feet wet. Hur hur.
The Secret of the Ooze
Shredder was innocent. It just makes so much sense now.
The Littlest Ninja Turtle
What you've suspected all along is true; turtles just want to be ninjas. And this little guy is an especially adorable one.
