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:

Wow! Bees too? Very cool! I run an account for the @little-peppers too, with a few snakes recently. We can talk soon enough, but I got a new number, so I'll have to call. Also, we should be up that way in about a week!

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

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

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.

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.

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!
