+PengoFamily Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Most land tortoises have high domed carapaces that offer protection from the snapping jaws of terrestrial predators. Aquatic turtles tend to have flatter more aerodynamically shaped shells. An exception to the dome-shaped tortoise shell is the Pancake Tortoise of East Africa that will wedge itself between narrow rocks when threatened and then inflates itself with air making extraction nearly impossible.

(as chorus) Me and you, and you and me No matter how they tossed the dice, it had to be The only one for me is you, and you for me So happy together O-o-o-oh So happy together O-o-o-oh How is the weather Ba, ba ba ba ba So happy together Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba We're happy together Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba So happy together Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba Quote Link to comment

+Rockin Roddy Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Years later, in the same lake as the one she had caught that monster, I went fishing again! A buddy and I carried a flat bottom boat out and fished for a few days, had us a few beer with us and such! On the second day, we drifted with the wind, drinking beer. Since the fish were scarce, we were just laying back relaxing and shooting the breeze. After awhile of sitting on "bottom" near shore, the boat started moving suddenly! I looked over one side...turtle. I looked over the other side...more of the same turtle!!! That was one BIG turtle! It picked up the boat and moved us until it got into deep enough water...and then swam off! You fishermen know how wide a 14' Lowes flatbottom is... Quote Link to comment
