Cool Animal of the Day: The Eastern Long-Necked Turtle

I swear to God some of these turtles can’t catch a break. First we have a soft-shelled turtle, now we have this guy. Seriously, this is what we call a side-necked turtle. What’s a side-necked turtle you ask? It’s a turtle that wraps its neck sideways back into its shell rather than pulling it directly back like regular turtle folk. I kid you not. On a related note, I have a really inappropriate joke I’m dying to insert here but I just can’t pull the trigger. Anywho, Eastern Long-Necked Turtle.

His friends call him Dickhead.
