"Turtle"

I found this poor turtle walking dejectedly between the rails of the train tracks. After I determined that he was not likely to pivot around and bite my fingers off, I picked him up and put him in a more hospitable location. I just hope it was the right side of the tracks..:)

Passing a pond on one of the trails of Mackinac Island, we saw this turtle sunning himself. Mackinac Island is located on Lake Huron, between the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan, in the USA.

The green turtle is a large, weighty sea turtle with a wide, smooth carapace, or shell. It inhabits tropical and subtropical coastal waters around the world and has been observed clambering onto land to sunbathe.

It is named not for the color of its shell, which is normally brown or olive depending on its habitat, but for the greenish color of its skin.

Green sea turtles are able to hold their breath for hours at a time. Because they are cold-blooded, the temperature of the water affects their ability to hold their breath. In colder water they can hold their breath for longer.

Somewhere in ocean shallows, a group of sea turtles swims among underwater rocks. Seaweed and urchins cover the rocky walls of the aquatic seascape, while bubbles rise to the surface from the deep. Meanwhile, rays of sunlight cut through the water, broken by the rippling surface of the sea above. The five ancient sea creatures swim slowly and majestically by the viewer through the blue undersea world.

This is the second in my series featuring sea turtles. All three can be found in my Aquatic Life gallery: daniel-eskridge.artistwebsites.com/art/all/aquatic+life/all .
