Turtle

Turtle

                             Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, 
                    Some people see the turtle as a beautiful creature.
                 The turtle, a survivor, is one of the oldest know creature 
                         that has been around  for  a million years.
            They come in many sizes and colors, but they are all the same a turtle.
               It might be slow but it doesn’t rush into things and make mistakes.
                     It has a long longevity  and enjoys  life for many years.

                              Their own survival is built into them.
            They carry their home with him so they are protected at all times.
     They play peek a boo from out of his window when he doesn’t want to be seen
       The shell is developed from their ribs and acts as a shield  like Adam & Eve.
      In some, temperature determines if the egg will break into a male or female.
                      That would be nice if we could manage the same.
Sea turtles have special glands which help remove salt from the water they drink.
                                  Some are rare and endangered.

                                  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, 
                          that is why some people even wear them as tattoos
