Ah, yes, another deep dive into the revolutionary #discovery of #tortoises, because clearly, we're all dying to relive Darwin's 19th-century vacation slideshow. 🐢🌴😴 Spoiler alert: Tortoises still move slowly, and #evolution continues to be a thing. Riveting stuff, folks!

💁🏻♀️ TIL: Argentine black and white #tegus – omnivorous #lizards that grow to 120 cm and weigh over 4 kg – are spreading across southeastern #Georgia after exotic pet owners likely released them illegally. 🦎
Each female can produce 35 #eggs per year, and with few #predators, the population threatens native species like gopher #tortoises. 🐢

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260430-teen-with-30-tortoises-under-clothes-nabbed-at-thai-airport. Here's another very naughty #teenager - 19 years old, this time. I don't think she'll get away with a slap on the wrist. Smuggling #wildlife - like these protected #tortoises - is a major #problem, which needs to be tackled.

#Turtles and #tortoises share the same #etymological root: Ancient #Greek ταρταροῦχος (tartaroûkhos), “holder of Tartaros (or Tartarus)”. Ancient beliefs held that they originated from the underworld, thought to be the resting place of the dead, referred to as Τάρταρος (Tártaros), meaning “the land of the dead, #hell.”

Rumors of Jonathan's death are untrue. The world's oldest tortoise is still with us at age 193.
