That thing has seen the ages go by and is now very eccentric.
Smug sonofabitch.
Next thing y’know we discover an elder civilisation, make stacks, and we just become sleeves
They look happy too. We should try and figure out that part as well.
He knows what you’re thinking 😉
I hope to God Mitch McConnell isn’t a Blanding’s turtle.
:3 😳
Super active schedule and he’ll take it!
Yeah thats really cool. But also… look at that smile. He said “:)”
There are a whole different level of poor.
China has entered the chat
So that is how you know their signs?
it looks like a snake is coming out of the turtles head
Little did I know when I was a kid that turtles would become the universal sign for geriatric sex.
This man is aging in reverse
> That’s no samurai castles near me.
It looks like its diehard into sound recording.
The part of the rat tickling research

Daww look at that smile… LOOK AT IT!!
thts the smirk you make when you know you can get laid for longer than the person holding you
“Oh, so glad you are okay.
Look at that virile smirk. He knows. 😉

Give me some of that sweet, sweet turtle meat! Daddy needs longevity!
That shell looks so smooth and that face is so cute
Probably worth noting that physically, that was jarring.
As do the rest of this porn.
no sir, thats the alchemical hydra

More to life than horniness my friends
that turtle looks active in mating into it’s eighth or ninth decade, hubba, hubba
Just like lobsters, cool. They don’t even have to moult their shell, which is what stops lobsters from living forever.
My favorite is still Tardigrades (water bears). They can survive in outer space by putting their body into dehydrated stasis. When they start to rehydrate and come back to life, they will take in genetic information from the environment and use it to adapt their genetics in real time.
My mother in law found one when it was a baby in November, she feared it wouldn’t survive the winter so she brought it in as a pet, that was like 9 years ago. She had no idea what it’s species was or its longevity.
Look at him, he knows something alright and he ain’t gonna tell us
But do they DIIIIIIIEEEEEE?
I saw one in the wild one time and it was like finding a unicorn I was so excited lol
This is what peak performance looks like.
They are struggling to thrive because of how long it takes them to reach sexual maturity, and humans goal to build something everywhere they can as fast as they can. I used to trap them for a couple projects, one being a genetic survey. Those were fun summers though!
So cute
No wonder it looks like its smiling
