Turtles

You think you know your pet, but do you *know* your pet? Would you, for example, say your guinea pig is a Betty or a Veronica? What's your iguana's opinion on repealing the Glass-Steagall Act? Most importantly, DO YOU EVEN KNOW YOUR FERRET'S MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY TYPE????!! Is your pet ... an INTROVERT?

We've covered our fair share of some cute n' tiny animals. Mini horses, baby owls-- you name it, we're big fans. But this time around, we've scoped out something new and adorable and OMG we want them right now! Guys, it's tiny turtle time.

It's like they say: two heads are better than one.

Turtles aren’t exactly the most exciting animal in the world. They’re cool and all, but it’s not like we can cuddle up to their shells shell or play fetch with the little guys. But though turtles are lacking in the fun pet qualifications department, we’ve discovered they’re still jolly ol’ nuggets.

Tying a bunch of balloons to a house makes a really sweet, heartwarming cartoon movie. Tying a bunch of balloons to a turtle, on the other hand, just makes you a giant jerk. But that didn't stop some horrible person in California from duct-taping a massive bunch of helium-filled balloons to a box turtle and releasing it into the air. Fortunately, the turtle was rescued and an investigation is unde

You'd think that, out of all the different kinds of livestock, turtles would be the easiest to keep penned in. And yet, some 1,600 turtles recently fled a Georgia farm. Granted, it was probably a very slow break for freedom.

Tortoises Bibi and Pidi from the Happ Reptile Zoo in Austria have been together for the past 115 years -- that's way more than even the best of us can brag about -- but it looks like the couple has finally hit a rough patch.

It's official: with his distinctive voice, legendary British broadcaster and naturalist David Attenborough can lend a sense of grandeur to anything, even a viral video of a turtle trying to have sex with a shoe. (Yes, you read that right.)

While there have been a lot of videos of other animals balancing on turtles, this Galapagos tortoise proves her kind is pretty coordinated too by carefully balancing an apple on the tip of her nose. She could get a circus gig with that kind of skill.

The force is strong in these two lightsaber wielding turtles. Who will win out in this display of the Jedi arts?

This turtle attempts to fool a dog with the classic trojan horse attack. The pooch, who must have read 'The Aenied,' doesn't appear tricked.

First, we blew your minds with a baby goat riding a tortoise. Then, we upped the ante with a chicken hitching a ride on the back of a turtle. Now comes the cutest example of a turtle taxi yet featuring a parakeet.

Turtles look a lot more like dinosaurs than just about any other member of the animal kingdom. So we can't really blame the cat in the video below for being freaked out by the much smaller beast. Just kidding. The cat should be ashamed. It's a freakin' turtle. Grow a backbone, ya big puss. Watch a cat who needs to chill below.

Yes, some might view graffiti as urban blight, but it is really so bad when it depicts lovable turtles? Check out this collection of turtle-inspired graffiti below, which features sea turtles, cartoon turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and even one crude chalk drawing of a turtle that reads "Slow but wise."

First we told you about a goat that rode on the back of a tortoise. And now, a chicken has done the very same thing. Has turtle-riding become a hot new craze in the animal kingdom?
