Nature Is Metal

Plot Twist 📽 by @jordanvanitallie It’s possible most people don’t know turtles get down like this, but that’s only because we have a natural inclination to look at certain species a certain way and never break from that narrative until something shocks us out of it, and then we realize that, oh yeah, it’s a wild animal, of course they do. Turtles are a perfect example of this way of thinking, because the truth is they are opportunistic omnivores with a fierce predatory side when they have to be, chasing down injured prey like frogs and dragging them underwater to feed. Studies indicate red-eared sliders, found in ponds and rivers across North America, consume 40-50% animal matter, including frogs, tadpoles, and small fish, especially when prey is weakened. Painted turtles, widespread from Canada to Mexico, can exhibit similar aggression, using their webbed feet to swiftly pursue vulnerable animals in water. These small turtles, often mistaken for harmless pets, reveal their raw, survival-driven instincts in moments that shatter these gentle stereotypes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!
