i like turtles

Another day in the wholesome animal kingdom, and today we're all about turtles! They may be slow and they may have shells, but they're definitely not shy enough to stay holed up in those shells. In fact, turtles can be super friendly. The official turtle subreddit shares wonderful pictures of turtles on a daily basis, and we've collected our favorite from this week. Scroll down and choose your fave turtle from the collection. Trust us - it'll be a tough choice. 

Turtles are amazing animals. They can be traced back to the time of dinosaurs, they usually live around 70 years (tortoises reach around 150 or more years), and they're super cute. Sadly, as human development reaches the quietest of beaches, some turtle hatchlings are having trouble finding the ocean because of the confusing lights. But it's not all bad news! As well as being the problem (sorry turtles), we can also be the solution. Keep on reading to learn how you can help your little flippered friends live to be wise old creatures. 

Winter is just around the corner, and you know what that means, IT'S SWEATER WEATHER! And we aren't the only ones that are going to live it up in layers this year! Tortoises are going all out and have made it known that just because they have a shell, doesn't mean they don't like fashion!
