🌊🐢 **Turtle Power: Our Armor-Clad Allies** 🐢🌊

As the sun casts its golden rays upon the earth, let us not forget the silent voyagers of the blue - our ancient friends, the turtles. This World Turtle Day, let's dive deep into the importance of these magnificent creatures and their role in the tapestry of life.

Turtles, with their bony carapaces and wise eyes, have been navigating the waters and lands long before us. They are the custodians of marine health, the gardeners of our seabeds, and the storytellers of our planet's history.

Yet, they face threats from all fronts - from plastic pollution to habitat destruction. It's our duty to shield them as they have the earth, ensuring their tales continue for eons to come.

Join us in celebrating World Turtle Day by learning, sharing, and taking action. Let's create ripples of change that will turn into waves of conservation for our shelled companions.

📚 Learn about their plight.

🔄 Share their stories.

🛠 Take action to protect their habitats.

Together, we can ensure that turtles continue to thrive, not just survive. Let's make every day a World Turtle Day.

I can wrangle up some Illinois herps and birds for you...

Blue-spotted Salamander (Ambystoma laterale), family Ambystomatidae, NE United States

This species readily hybridizes with other closely related species. It’s difficult to tell whether you have a hybrid or a pure bred blue spotted salamander, upon visual inspection.

Gray Rat Snake (Pantherophis spiloides), family Colubridae, eastern USA

This species used to be considered a subspecies of the Black Rat Snake, Elaphe/Pantherophis obseletus, but the Rat Snakes of the U.S. have undergone considerable taxonomic revision over the last few years.

World Turtle Day is an annual observance held every May 23rd. It began in 2000 and is sponsored by American Tortoise Rescue. The day was created as a yearly observance to help people celebrate and protect turtles and tortoises and their disappearing habitats, as well as to encourage human action to help them survive and thrive. A study on the effects of biodiversity awareness days listed World Turtle Day as an example of how they increase the internet search traffic on the protected species

Today is good day. Today is WORLD 🌎 TURTLE 🐢 DAY. So go out there and SHELLEBRATE and Be a HERO TO TURTLES 🐢 EVERYWHERE

The place where we live in Gaza.

This place lacks medicine, hospitals, homes, every ingredient of life.

For 10 months, I have been living in a tent, with 17 other family members, all in one tent.

Because of the infected food, I have had hepatitis, which left me with anemia.

My fiance and I only want to escape this hell.

Please do not just like and leave us, donate, follow, reblog, and support us towards our goal.

It’s World Wildlife Week! Each day of World Wildlife Week, we will provide you with two truths and a lie. What are the two true facts about the green sea turtle found in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument?

1. The green sea turtle is the largest hard-shelled sea turtle.

2. The green sea turtle is the only found in the United States.

3. The green sea turtle is the only herbivorous species of sea turtle.

Can you guess the lie?

I would like to trouble you once more with a request of animals for which the female is either larger or more brightly colored than the male, such as the Wilson's Phalarope or the Eclectus parrot

Sure thing!

Of course, with most spiders, the females are larger. As with ladybird spiders...

Ladybird Spider (Eresus moravicus), male, family Eresidae, Hungary

Male ladybird spiders mimic ladybird beetles (ladybugs), while the larger females do not.

Greater Painted-Snipe (Rostratula benghalensis), male (back) and female (front), family Rostratulidae, Pathum Thani Rice Research Center, Thailand

Females are more colorful than the males. The females court the males, and are polyandrous (having multiple mates). The males incubate the nest and raise young.

With many snakes, the females are larger, as with garter snakes...

Garter snakes make friends, organize their society around females

For many species of Aquatic Turtle, the females are also larger...
