  30. DumBunny says:

    Foxy, you are right on, the family story was she ate the other half, I don’t know for sure, as I wasn’t born for another year and a half.

  31. Gina says:

    Bunn’s have nothing on turtles for disapprovings!

  32. totalee puppy says:

    Would love to have a circle…of tiny turkles.

  33. Samantha says:

    Eye capsules!!!!

    I feel like eye capsules should be a tag by now…

  34. Lhyzz says:

    omg look at that little bebeh beakersons!

  35. Judy Woodfill says:

    Actually, even though he/she is adorable and terribly cute, he/she is in fact a tortoise, not a turtle. Turtles have flippers and live in the water. Tortoises have claws and live on land.

  36. Christine says:

    Box turtles actually are partly aquatic- they aren’t strong swimmers, but they need to be close to water and in a humid environment. So, they go with both tortoises and turtles, but they are called turtles because they can’t have the dry habitats most tortoises thrive in.

  37. berthaservant says:

    wow, ntmtom, a charles lutwidge dodgson reference. nicely done, sir, as always.

    as for the toitle, i believe he’s doing jolson’s “mammy” in the second pic.

    Well the way I heared it back when I was an all-turtles-all-the-time kind of gal (President and Founder of my 3rd Grade Turtle Club) was that there are turtles (sea turtles, living in salt water, your loggerheads, your greens, your leatherbacks); then you have your terrapins (living in fresh water but hanging out on nearby land, lounging on rocks and logs – your painted terrapin, your snapping turtle, blandings, soft-shell, etc.); and thirdly there’s your tortoise (land loving, higher domed shells, will puddle around in water and drink it, but please don’t submerge them and expect them to like it – your box turtle, your greek tortoise, etc.). And the umbrella term for all these three groups is: turtles. Now. I have to go and see if any of that has changed since 3rd grade. I mean, Pluto is no longer a planet, right?

  39. Cambridge Rat Mom says:

    Loved the mini-lesson on turtles. They’re so cool. Their spine and ribs are attached to their carapace. Very cool design.

  40. Katrina says:

    I just bought my husband a lovely tie with tiiiny turckles on it (from the Philadelphia Flower show)- now let’s see if he wears it!
    I do so like this picture- if I could have it as wallpaper, I would.

  41. catluvr says:

  42. Hon Glad says:

  46. Barb Wright says:

  47. Barb Wright says:

    This is a baby box turtle. I’m not sure, but it is most likely an Eastern Box Turtle…sooooo cute!

  48. Jen2 says:

    Lorel J, thanks for the tiny turtle lesson! I feel smahhteh already!

  49. AuntieMame says:

    “I mean, Pluto is no longer a planet, right?”

    It is in MY universe, Lorel J. :P

  53. Kristabelle says:

    I love turtles! I had 2 red eared sliders for 6 years. Stinky, but cool. Not the friendliest of creatures, but what can you expect?? Eat, poop, bask in the sun light…

  54. buslady says:
