Here's looking at you

This animal has about eight names but, more simply he is known as turtle. He's my refugee from florida, my illegal alien. They don't sell turtles here in tennessee because they are an endangered species here. People make turtle soup here. Egh. So, he came all the way from florida in a box in a car by my cousins. He was a birthday present. We're hoping to get another sometime within the next year as I was hoping for two originally so that they may become cuff and link ( for my dad and those who understand where this comes from ) or crush and squirt ( because my and my mother's obsession with finding nemo is insane really. )

Red Sea turtle too busy munching the coral top be bothered by divers, however close I got wit the camera!

Western Pond Turtle

This is a turtle my sisters found on the road.

I imagine his legs were pulled in bc he was scared of the Otter which was in the same pond! Taken at Muscatatuck NWR in Jackson Co, IN.

Turtle

Perhentian Island

My in-laws' next door neighbor have a pet. This pet lives in the front yard and comes out when it's warm and sunny. I have been wanting to take a picture of this turtle for quite some time but he is always facing the wrong way. Today, I walked up and he started coming toward me and, believe it or not, I had time to go to the car and get my camera before he got too close.
