Yeah? Then explain this, mister '''''''scientist'''''''
This is just yet another example of legacy media lying to us.
Then explain this photograph.
I feel like an annual reminder would be entirely sufficient, to be honest.
I’d like to know who needs a daily reminder.
who should i trust? Nintendo or a random person on the Internet?
Those are koopa troopas. They’re turtle-like, but not actual turtles.
Please don’t tap/knock on turtle shells. It would be like someone knocking directly on your bones.
My bones are not weak, they can take it.
Your bones are not weak but its still not a good excuse to abuse a turtle by knocking on its shell.
Surviving and getting pissed off are totally different things that can happen at the same time…
That’s really easy to do, knock on your head. There’s just a thin layer of skin over the bone.
That’s neat and all. But how do they retract their heads?
And feet, especially box turtles. Some species can indeed go inside their shells - while still being a part of the shell itself, of course.
Kinda looks like those vertical bones are part of a hinge joint.
So my head is not “inside” my skull but *is* my skull? Is the brain not a part of my head?
Can you put any external part of yourself inside your skull? That’s the difference.
I’ve been trying but I’m still not flexible enough to reach.
Yeah, any time you put something in your mouth. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Look, I’m not a biologist, okay!
They can feel touch through their shells
What about Ninja Turtles?
Same deal.
Turtles *are a half shell.
Turtle power!
I want to get him out though.
That’s illegal, if I were to be a dictator! Look, if were to be a Dictator of the World, there would be only one overarching Law: If Turtles decide to go out of their shells, they shall leave a little sign around that says “out for lunch” or something equally thoughtful.
What about ninja turtles?
Wait so they can’t get out of their shells? But…
Wait, what? I’m wrapped around my skeleton?
