The dogs found this small Painted Turtle just outside of the chicken yard. They are really pretty on the bottom, where the top is a plain color. I don’t worry about them bothering the ducks so I took it on over to the pond. When I put it down near the water it took stock of where it was at then leaped into the water and was gone. It must have had some frog in it also.

Sea turtles are almost always submerged in water, and, therefore, have developed an anaerobic system of respiration. Although all sea turtles breathe air, under dire circumstances they may divert to anaerobic respiration for long periods of time. When surfacing to breathe, a sea turtle can quickly refill its lungs with a single explosive exhalation and rapid inhalation. Their large lungs have adapted to permit rapid exchange of oxygen and to avoid trapping gases during deep dives. However, turtles must emerge while breeding, given the extra level of activity.

Carved out of stone from Brazil (I think), the green and black in the stone were ideal for this turtle.(1998)

I swear that the turtle was posing for me. Guess I have a knack for talking to the animals?
