The Chelonians From bottom to top: 1. Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) 2. Geometric Tortoise (Psammobates geometricus) 3. Galapagos Tortoise (Dipsochelys dussumieri) 4. Argentine Snake-Necked Turtle (Hydromedusa tectifera) 5. Mata Mata (Chelus fimbriata) 6. Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) 7. Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) The Testidunes (or Chelonii, often called Chelonians) are the reptiles belonging to the order Testudines, and include all of the turtles and tortoises. This order is characterized by their protective bony carapaces, which developed from their ribs millions of years ago. Ribs still line the inside of the shell.

As they’re reptiles, they’re ectothermic, and their body temperature adjusts to the surroundings. They’re all amniotes, as well - that is, they lay eggs outside of the water.

The carapace of most chelonians is covered by bony, overlapping plates, called scutes. However, some species, such as the leatherback sea turtle, have a thick, oily skin covering their carapace instead. Chelonians also have a protective chest plate, called a plastron.

The difference between “turtle”, “tortoise”, and “terrapin” is defined differently depending upon your field and what part of the world you live in. In general, turtles live in either freshwater or the ocean. Tortoises live on dry land and cannot swim. Terrapin is a more specific term for some turtles, referring to the small, edible, hard-shelled turtles.

While all chelonians can be long-lived (as their organs do not suffer age-related decay), large torotoises are the best-known for living over a hundred years. Jonathan, a Seychelles Giant Tortoise, is 183 years old next week, and is the oldest living creature on earth!

As a child I watched a neighbor child feed BooBerry marshmallows to his teddy Bear hamster.  Shortly after he showed me the little bugger stuffing his cheeks I was told by him after school that, "Mr Puffy died, he ated too many marsmelloes. [sic]"

Getting off the Bench

Getting off the bench.

I did a 5 hour video shoot after almost a year not working because of my hand injury, I have been reticent to do any video shoots since the injury due to some remaining residual pain and lingering resentment.

I motored through a very dry, yet interesting 3 hour lecture on companies needing to be in compliance this year with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

I nailed it.

When the footage was done, It looked beautiful, despite being the dryest content on earth. It felt good to be working again.
