This morning I had to say goodbye to my sweet Baby. He had a rough life. His original mom passed away from cancer. My mom eventually adopted him. But then a few years later my mom passed from cancer. So, poor Baby was up rooted again to live with me.
But then a few days before he passed. I was thinking again of each time he lost his person. Maybe he didn't have a rough life. That he was just on the journey God sent him on.
Baby was so good at comforting people when they were sick. He was my little rock when the doctors were trying to figure out my stomach issues. My sweet little Baby was right next to me 24/7.
So I believe God decided it was Baby's time to rest and called his sweet angel back home.
I love you Baby. My little rock. Sweet angel and of course, grumpy old man😞

Happy World Turtle Day! 🐢

World Turtle Day is an annual event on May 23rd to celebrate and raise awareness about turtles and tortoises, their habitats, and threats they face! Initiated in 2000 by the American Tortoise Rescue 🐢

Turtles and Tortoises face many threats. Three big ones include:
1. Habitat Destruction
2. Illegal Wildlife Trade
3.Climate Change

So what’s the difference between Turtles and Tortoises?

Habitat:
Turtles: Generally, turtles are more aquatic and live in or near water bodies like rivers, lakes, and oceans. They are adapted to swim and usually have webbed feet or flippers.

Tortoises: Tortoises are primarily land-dwelling and prefer dry environments like deserts, grasslands, and forests. They are adapted for terrestrial life with sturdy, column-like legs.

Physical Adaptations:

Shell Shape:
Turtles: Typically have flatter, more streamlined shells that help them swim efficiently.

Tortoises: Possess dome-shaped, heavier shells that provide protection from predators in a terrestrial environment.

Feet:
Turtles: Often have webbed feet or flippers for swimming.

Tortoises: Have more robust, elephantine feet suited for walking on land.

Diet:
Turtles: Their diet can vary widely depending on the species but often includes a mix of plants and animals (omnivores).

Tortoises: Typically herbivores, mainly eating grasses, fruits, and vegetables.

Lifespan and Growth:
Turtles: Some species can live long lives, particularly sea turtles, but their lifespan varies widely across species.

Tortoises: Known for their long lifespan, often living several decades, with some individuals living over 100 years.

Summary: both turtles and tortoises belong to the order Testudines, turtles are generally more adapted to aquatic life, whereas tortoises are adapted to terrestrial living.
