Happy #WorldTurtleDay! Celebrating my favourite animals. The Ancient Shellmasters. The Shelly Fellows. Turtles, in other words. 🐢

It's really a shame these beautiful creatures are hard to find here in the cold North.
So here's a 2014 photo of mine of a fun exhibit from our local university zoological museum (which has been since closed - I don't know where they relocated?).
"Oh please, you're not as tough as you think you are. Move over!"

It's World Turtle Day! Without turtles, we would not have the Discworld! In which book do baby Discworlds hatch?

What is your favourite turtle fact?
