    1. It’s especially funny because it looks absolutely thrilled and it’s almost certainly absolutely NOT.

      All that’s missing is a colored mask. But we have a real life ninja turtle.

    3. This picture actually made my day. Tell your wife I said thank you. What a beautiful little baby!!!

      Saved. This is my new image I’ll send in response when I’m shocked about something. Thank you!

      I want to blow this photo up and frame it!!! Obsessed with turtles. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    6. OMG had to look closer…. Thought someone “added” googly eyes to the little guy.

    7. It’s a black-breasted leaf turtle! This one isn’t exactly happy but [they also just look like that](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlpAW2ydzP-vgSq3vOhXqSRFKqzw0NPHeft0sCSsl76Dfv6x7gOF4SZNel&s=10), those googly eyes are their whole thing! They’re one of the smallest turtles in the world (that’s a full grown adult being held) and they use those massive peepers to scope out all sorts of wiggly yummies on the forest floor; they’re surprisingly good hunters compared to most land-dwelling omnivorous turtles.

      Of course as with lots of cool obscure animals these guys are unfortunately critically endangered, but recent strides in captive breeding over the past few years have proven that they’re fairly hardy in captivity with the right care.
