Q. Are the words tortoise and turtle names of the same creature? Or, are they different species?A. Those which live on land are called tortoise (photo 1) and those which live in sea, rivers or ponds are called turtle (photo 2) by the zoologists. Both are different species. Turtles have broad legs which serve as flippers. A species of sea turtles known as leatherback can weigh up to 800 kilograms,

A tortoise one day met a hare who made fun of her. “My, my, you move so slowly, you will never get far!”
The tortoises, upset by the hare’s manner, said, “Let’s have a race and see who is faster.”

Walt Disney | Silly Symphoies | Symphony | animation | short film | children |This short video clip has great animation and music for the classic tale of the tortoise and the hare. How the very fast but the over confidence of the hare makes him lose a race against a slow but steady tortoise. The tortoise without thinking much just walks along the way with his own pace while the hare runs fasts takes a lead and due to the over confidence takes time for nap or fooling around and in the end realizes the loss, as he watches the tortoise pass through the finish line.
A tortoise that appears to be addicted to nicotine has been discovered in China's northeastern province of Jilin, according to reports. The animal's owner, a man identified by his surname Yun, has kept the pet for four years. He is himself a smoker and played a major part intortoise's habit, according to Xinhua news agency, quoting a local newspaper. Perhaps dispirited by the animal's naturally slow and insouciant character, Yun one day decided to spark things up by placing a cigarette butt into its mouth.To his surprise the tortoise not only started smoking it, but did not even cough. From then on, Yun shared his cigarettes with his pet."It seems to have become addicted," said Yun. "Whenever I smoke in front of it, it will stick its head out of the water and fidget about until I give i

Hi, I recently received an e-mail, which is very inspiring. I thought I would like to share the same with you all. So, here it goes.....These are truly amazing pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. NAIROBI (AFP) - A baby hippopotamus that survived theTsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strongBond with a giant male century-old tortoise in an animal Facility in the port city of Mombassa, officials said. The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down SabakiRiver into the Indian Ocean , then forced back to shore When tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast onDecember 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him."It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a Male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to Be very happy with being a 'mother'," ecologist Paula Kahumbu, Who is in charge of Lafarge Park , told AFP."After it was swept away and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized.

I read a lot of blogs and here and there I will read that link directories are so early 2000, they are “passé” or it is pointless to build links in link directories. O_O!!!! What?
Maybe I am just not one to turn down links, but if you can get a link from a directory, why not? Of course, not all link directories are created equal, and you should keep this in mind when building links via link directories for your off-site search engine marketing. I was reading about what factors you should consider when submitting your site to link directories, and I see the value in discussing link directories as they are clearly not “dead”.
My process for deciding whether or not to submit my site to a certain directory:
Look at the PR of the index page - then find the page where your site will be listed and check the PR of that page.
How many links are in the directory, in the category where your site is listed and on individual pages?
How did you find the directory in Google?
Selling tortoises thirty or forty years ago was a very different proposition than what it is today. Then your average Pet shop owner was asked for tortoises by his customers. He would then order them from his wholesaler and then a few days later a consignment of tortoises would appear. When we received them they were in flat boxes, but many years earlier they had come in Ali Baba type baskets. On arrival all the tortoises were first put into large trays of warm water and given a drink, then they were washed and checked for ticks. After a few hours rest they were then fed lots of fresh vegetables and then next day put out on show ready to go to new homes. One of my earliest childhood summer memories was going to check the tortoises with my Father and seeing which were male and female. (turn tortoise upside down, concave shell - male, flattish shell -female.)Way back then not too many people questioned how animals were transported or how they were caught. Now-a-days things are different.
Located in the heart of HCM City, the Tortoise Fountain is among the city’s well-known historical sitesTortoise Fountain is the name of a square in central HCM City. It is located at the intersection of Pham Ngoc Thach, Vo Van Tan and Tran Cao Van streets, approximately 200 meters from the Notre Dame Cathedral.The structure was originally built in 1879 and had gone through many alternations ever since. Initiated by the French, the 20-meter-high water tower was built in the center of the traffic circle. The water tank of steel with a capacity of 100 cubic meters was supported by eight pillars, placed in octagonal shape. The top of the tower was layered with tiles. The overall structure reflected the Pearl of the Far East design, which was the name of Saigon at the time, and can be seen on postcards dated in the late 19th century.In 1921, the tower was destroyed. The reasons are unclear since all official and architectural documentations were lost. Records were not well kept at the tim

The offsprings are the hatchlings of several Egyptian tortoises that were rescued from a smuggler's suitcase in 2005 at Naples airport, southern Italy, by Italy's forestry police and were entrusted to Rome's main zoo.More related:Tigers Demonstrate Diving Skills Comfish - USB Mini Aquarium Iron Elephant Against Ivory Trade RC Flying Dnosaur - The PterosaurTattoo Bra Covers ScarsCute Animals ChairBlack Bear Rides Horse, Motorbike Amazing Biggest Horn Cow World biggest remoteTurn a 3G Smartphone into a Wireless ModemTransformers Changing CupboardObscura Digital Virtual DogThe Frog Rescue The Mouse16 Phtotograph Must SeeBaby Hedgehog Photos
Ouch! It’s been a while since running. I’ve been a bit depressed about it all and a bit busy with life, but that’s really no excuse. Well, actually it is an excuse… it’s just not a good reason. I’d like to start off this entry in my Runner’s Log with an old story that comes from Aesop’s Fables:
The Hare and the Tortoise
A Hare one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise, who replied, laughing: “Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race.” The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise ha
I wonder what's going on in this tortoise's little brain? He is absolutely not going to allow any cats to invade his garden. Watch this little guy torment the cats in this video--it is pretty impressive to see how fearless he is, and how alarmed the cats are at becoming a target for this small reptile.Related Posts:Nora the piano playing catNora the piano playing cat part 2Nora the piano playing cat part 3Washing catsMonster the singing catCats versus toy dragonfliesStuff + Cats = Awesome
- Fresh-water tortoise dives in the sweet water aquarium in Mora Southern Portugal March 21, 2007. The giant sweet water aquarium of Mora opened on Wednesday reproducing the life of different species from several continents living on the rivers.
Early this afternoon, after having lunch with two girlfriends and our three toddlers, we left the restaurant and allowed our kids to walk by our sides out to the cars... As long as they held our hands, of course. The kids (two girls and a boy) decided it was not enough to hold our hands but also needed to hold on to each other. So there we were, three adults and three toddlers, all holding

[Wednesday, 14 March, 2007]The repeated old show on channel 8 was nice. I had a rare chat initiated by Ruoci and I started bombarding her for not replying to my message the day before when I was at Bedok. At times, I felt like deleting the contacts on my phone of friends who did not bother about me. It took me long to finish up my work and thus slept late again.I was eventually waken up by Kelly who told me to do SD as soon as possible for the block 219 Ang Mo Kio flat but since I knew it was not very urgent, I told her I would probably do it some other days. To me, it was stupid to go all the way down to Bukit Merah HDB branch office just to do it and I would prefer to do it on the way if I had to go to the office.I woke up around noon eventually and saw Suimin’s Friendster being updated and I knew this chicken-tortoise had returned to Singapore. She could have sent me a SMS once she touched down from the plane.Justus came over to my house and bugged me for very long with his Chines

Elle spotlights that tortoise shell has resurfaced as the season’s most unexpected accent, turning up on everything from breezy dresses to wedge heels.
For my direct experiences I was completely torn between the Prada sunglasses I bought (the hipster pair I shared) and these Oliver Peoples Varadis 284. The dash of not-too girly pink is so chic! Trust me I was torn between the two but dropping another $300 wasn’t in the budget (insert shopping pang here).
You can also color me begrudgingly impressed yet again! At Jessica Simpson shoes. I was manhandling this pair that I so don’t need but admire. The tortoise shell runs along the bottom of the shoes too. The black Amanda is very, very fun.
Can’t ignore these Elle picks either: Wedge sandal, Dolce & Gabbana, Sequin shirtdress, Chloé.
