Dang, that's a big turtle

Sometimes in science you just put down all the textbooks and the questions and the hypotheses and the reasoning, and just enjoy looking at something.
Sometimes you get the best discoveries that way.

Shortly before class I was on my way to the pond to look for something interesting to bring in, and hey presto! there was this whopper of a turtle walking across the field.

We had the usual Questions and Discoveries and so forth, but the turtle in the center of Classroom Circle was pretty much the whole class. A subliminal lesson was: sometimes you have to wait, quietly, for something to happen, and your patience is rewarded. In this case, of course, what you wait for is the turtle deciding to come out of its shell and start moving.

"Although alarmed, the students did not panic as the monstrous beast approached."

It's a grudge match between the Primavera Turtle and Mothra. Winner goes against Godzilla.

For starters, no idiot in their right mind would believe this ridiculous crap. This isn't even a GOOD photoshop job. The species of turtle shown is a Red Eared Slider, which even a large female hardly gets larger than a dinner plate. Seriously, do your homework...this photo is crap.

Further, you might want to take some photoshop classes, as this was POORLY done.
