Bad day to be an Aquatic Turtle Food Pellet! For ITTW Day 2 we wanted to highlight all the unique ways different species of turtles eat. Some species like the Razorback Musk Turtles wait until the pieces sink to the bottom to rush in and eat, while the Siebenrock’s Snake-Necks strike the top of the water like snakes engulfing everything at once! They all have their little nuances that help maximize their eating capability in their environment! And Happy Earth Day! 🌎 #turtle #tortoise #earthday
