...taking pictures of Marbles and Orange Julius a minute ago - aren't they sweet?
Do you remember this study (also see it here, here, here) we did a few years ago?
Well, I just got my hands on some pictures from the time we did it - just individual animals, not pairs as they fought (we had to pay attention to score behaviors, not waste time on taking pictures):
Yesterday I went to the Belgrade Racecourse and the barns and was happy to meet many of my old friends, including my old trainer (with Professor Steve Steve below) as well as some good new kids, including two sisters who used to own and ride my old horse. There were two small show jumping classes…
Yeah, I wouldn't have given it a second thought--that critter would've been in my house on my carpet in SECONDS.
It was happily munching earthworms, but by the time I grabbed my camera, my dog scared it back into its shell.
Lucky you! Terrapene carolina, for the curious. Looks like a probable female (eye color).
Seriously? Eye color is dimorphic in turtles? That's...both awesome and really boring! :-D
