A tiny flying albino turtle?
I think... I think it's ... a flying albino turtle!
Hey! What's that on the back of that mouse?
What we need is a close-up of the frog.
Maybe it's a heavenly turtle on its way home.
You think the white stuff rubs off? *scratches head*
I wonder whether it knows any squirrels....
Albino turtle to boot.
Thanks, c_b. Me too. It's among my favorite illustrations. :-)
RT, that picture warms my heart. *weejies*
Yes, but they can fly--on the backs of turtles. :-)
Awww, cute!It's been a bad day for hyphens. See proto-frog.
Sez you.Anyway, it's also an old nickname for petrels--the Giant-Petrel in particular. Also stinker, stinkard, and stinkpot (no hyphen).Thanks, c_b--forgot about this one. :-)
Turtles don't fly.
I thought it was the nickname of the musk turtle.
Is it a bird?
