WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT BABY TURTLES

in education •  6 years ago 

Recently, we found quite a few baby turtles.


It is always a special adventure to encounter such animals, and a few of the @little-peppers even got to capture their own. Checking out baby turtles in person is a lot of fun, but it reminded me of something that you may not know about baby turtles. I share about it in this video.

TURTLE HATCHLINGS OVERWINTERING IN THE NEST?

For those of you who do not watch the videos, I'll explain it for you here so you don't miss out. Normally, a lot of turtles will hatch in late summer or fall. When they hatch, they usually come out of the nest and find their way down to the water (for aquatic turtles anyway.) However, if they somehow determine that it is too cold to come out of the nest, the tiny turtles will actually stay underground in the nest all winter, and then come out once it gets warm the following year! How crazy is that? Did any of you already know about that, or was it news to you?

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

You have indeed educated me on this and Im ever grateful.
And this is why I cant but always check up your post.
I nevr knew turtle have a way of staying under the ground when they discover that the environment will be too cold for them.
You have really educated me.
Thanks @papa-pepper

Wow! Glad to hear it and thanks for all of the compliments!

I have found baby turtles before and they are really cool, but I did not know that they stayed in their nest all winter long I thought that they hatched in the spring. That is really cool
|/,,

so informatic post hoooo.!

what turtle beauty how long can a turtle live? the one that is in my house is already 12 years old and it is a giant I think I have taught it in these days by the way its feeding of a lot of lettuce

I see you like a veterinarian and take great care of them and their babies. i like what you do for them ..... very motivated for us ... thanks @papa-pepper

that photo of the little baby turtle is absolutely stunning papa-pepper! I had no idea they could just stay in their nest all winter, amazing, I assume they go into hibernation?

In some cases, parts of their body water actually freezes in between the cells.

and then they're okay come springtime, remarkable!

Kura-kura yang imut @papa-pepper

this is amazing, i am amazed with you, have a nice day, you love all animals, i want to be like you @papa-pepper

It is totally new for me I did not know about baby turtles, and I found it quite curious, since being such small animals are able to determine if the temperature is adequate or not, baby turtles are very adorable indeed.

this is quite pretty,I like this.

It is all new to me but I will make a post about same turtle revealing some even more surprising things even you don't know about them. I will most likely drop the link here if you wouldn't mind.

I just got to know it and was planning to write about it before I saw this. It's entirely a new discovery.
. @eurogee

That's crazy! I didn't know that. How do they keep from starving to death?

Lord knows... Seriously.

That's what I am wondering about as well...

OMG! So adorable!

Not sure. It sounds like someone hacked your account.

@papa-pepper happy blessed sunday.
Please sir i need your help, it's urgent, it's on discord.

I didn't know that the stayed in the nest if it is too cold. That's really really cool! See, this old dog learned something new today! Thanks, @papa-pepper!

The way you are holding the baby turtles..... Am emotional about it

Please dont crush it... It's just so cute

I won't crush it!

Is that the real size of a baby turtle?

Wow in in awe. I sincerely thought they were bigger...

Beautiful one. Thanks for sharing @papa-pepper

I had some VP to spare right now. ;)

Have an upvote then!

I've never downvoted in my life, but someone usually seems ready, so I haven't had to. Thanks man with no name...

Ha ha, thanks, man. I didn't do much downvoting at the beginning. I think I've given a total of 5 or so. One was because someone was spamming on my friend Brian's post about his struggle with cancer and how he's in constant pain. That one got flagged 100% really quickly.

I don't like that I can't choose what comments are on my post, so I understand the struggle. Unfortunately, that type of image is effective, but it's nothing more than a crude attention-grab. I'm not a fan of it and since you asked them to remove it, but they didn't... BAM, flag.

I appreciate who you are and what you stand for. I really enjoy your posts and your honesty about who you are/how you live. If you had a tv show, that's the clean, quality type of show that I would enjoy watching. There's so much garbage and cheap gimmicks out there, just selling themselves out to get attention, but no substance. I don't like my entertainment getting polluted, so it's nice that I can actually change that here. Would be cool if we could do that for tv too! :)

Anyhow, thanks!
