It’s always great to see a turtle in November! Although I doubt they appreciate the cold wind we’re having now. I certainly don’t! 🥶💨

Here is a Galapagos Green Sea Turtle for #TurtleTuesday. Three years after our excursion I have finally downloaded videos from my GoPro. Better late than never? 🐢

Many marine animals use oyster reefs to hide from predators and/or feed on tiny organisms there. These environments provide food for turtles, shorebirds, and valuable fish species. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #OysterReefs

Listen up, maggots! It's #TurtleTuesday and if you were planning on doing something other than reading this review of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles product well then I got some bad news for you!
Super7 TMNT Ultimates! Guerrilla Gorilla
Pictured: Not Sergeant Bananas, but also Sergeant Bananas. It feels like the last few times I've made a Super7 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles post I've wondered if it's my last one so I'm going to stop trying to predict that. This one comes courtesy of Big Bad Toy Store and their generous summer of deals. I wasn't going to pick up this particular action figure because it came at a pretty large MSRP, but when it was slashed nearly 50% I decided to bite so here we are to talk about Guerilla Gorilla.

Weaker protections for mammals result in reduced mitigation requirements for industrial activities, which can correlate with greater habitat degradation or disturbances in zones shared by sea turtles, including coasts, seagrass beds, and coral reefs. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #MMPA

We're having a chill #TurtleTuesday stream on Twitch today, with additional discussion of Liaoningosaurus (they're juveniles!) and whatever else chat wants to talk about.

In a victory for ocean conservation, the green turtle has been officially saved from the brink of extinction through greater protection efforts. (But make no mistake, their habitats are still at risk due to pollution and climate change.) #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday

For #TurtleTuesday, a profile of an Indian Flap-shelled Turtle (LIssemys punctata), at night in Goa province, India. "Flap-shelled" refers to flaps of skin on the plastron that partially cover the limbs. A creature of still waters - check out that snorky nose! #herps #turtles #NaturePhotography 🌿
Side view of a turtle's head, facing left. The turtle's head is partially retracted into the loose and wrinkled skin of the neck. The ground color of the head is a pale blue, almost a powder blue, with a faint touch of green. Overlying this are blotches of a dark charcoal gray; one large blotch covers the nose, another the eyes, and then there are smaller spots and streaks elsewhere on the head and neck. The nose is elongated, resembling that of a tapir. The iris is bright gold, and the pupil is round and black.

A flood covers the Earth, and a spirit named Nanabush asks the animals to dive for mud to recreate the land. After many animals fail, a muskrat succeeds. Nanabush places the mud on the back of a giant turtle, creating Turtle Island. #WetTribe #TurtleTuesday #TurtleIsland

For #TurtleTuesday, a Black-nobbed Sawback (Graptemys nigrinoda) floating in liquid space. A few years ago, I made a swing through the southern US to see and photograph map turtle species; this turtle was from the Tensas Basin in southern Alabama. #herps #turtles #NaturePhotography 🌿
Angled down image of a turtle floating at the surface in yellowish-brown water, and facing left. The turtle's shell is a dark brownish-black, but most of that is obscured by a rusty-brown coating of algae. The head, limbs, and tail are black, each with a number of thin stripes of bright yellow. One more feature - there are several raised scutes on the center of the shell that look like swept-back horns or knobs.

While Sargassum provides habitat in the sea, on the coast, the seaweed impedes nesting females, traps sea turtle hatchlings, and prevents the tiny turtles from reaching the safety of the ocean. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #Sargassum

Unfortunately, research is slower than the speed of climate change. Previous and current sea turtle nesting studies have only examined temperatures up to 91°F, and nesting beaches in South Florida have already recorded sand temperatures exceeding 93°F to almost 96°F. #WetTribe #TurtleTuesday

Despite expectations for a strong 2025 sea turtle nesting season, nest counts and hatchling numbers declined for the third year in a row, with nests dropping 36% from last year. Still, 90,000 known hatchlings were able to reach the ocean. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #Hatchlings

For #TurtleTuesday, a Leopard Tortoise (Stigmochelys pardalis) cozied up tight in the rocks and tall grass above the mostly dry Orange River, western Free State, South Africa. These are tough turtles scratching out a living in very arid conditions. #herps #turtles #NaturePhotography 🌿
Side image of a tortoise tucked away among large rocks and tall, dry grass. The tortoise is facing the camera at a slight angle; its face, front legs, and front part of the shell are visible while the grass hides the rest of the animal. The tortoise's shell is mostly the color of straw or dry grass, along with darker reticulated markings.
