The photogrpaher writes: If you saw the Grrl Scientist's posting of "Turtle Yoga" on September 30 you might have the suspicion that this image is a setup. I assure you it is not. I found these two turtles engaged in a yoga class in the same spot as the first two. I had to laugh out loud when I saw them holding the same yoga pose but now facing away from each other instead of face to face. The large turtle may be the same one in the early image but after studying both image I am now unsure what species this is. It might be a Cooter (not a Red-eared Slider as I thought) but I would be grateful to one of your Parrot-pals if they could identify it. The smaller critter is definitely a Red-eared Slider unlike the smaller yoga practitioner in the September 30 posting. That one was a Painted Turtle.
