#WildAboutWildlifeMonth My Favorite wildlife I'm most wild about are the Galapagos tortoises! They evolved into 15 different species thanks to their shell shapes🐢

Today, in Lora’s cloud post (@lorablack.bsky.social) we saw a rabbit 🐇 and a dog 🐕And today, I saw in this log the head of a smiling #GalapagosTortoise 🐢 Could also be the head of a #Brontosaurus. And the funny thing is, there were no psychedelics involved 🤪

Maybe take hours given tortoise time

Tortoise shells. Pretty cool, right? I got to climb into one, and it's not what you think. It's part of their skeleton. It's just... amazing how things work. Thought you'd want to see. Hope it sparks some questions! #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary #GalapagosTortoise #ScienceForKids #LearnWithMe
