who wants to learn about turtle evolution

ME ALWAYS

they shell made of they ribs

ribbles expanded over many million of years

this is eunotosaurus he is like turtle great great gr8 gr8 gr8 grandpa

him ribs big.  then l8er u got later on there this dude who got big ribs 2

him name pappochelys we just found him

then those red things (they called gastralia) got real big n it make a plastron n u got the odontochelys

they got hard bellies n big ribs but shell doesn’t come for millions of years but then u got shell n u got proganochelys

he live with dinos he so lucky

shell happens to baby turtle because carapacial ridge goes over their shoulders instead of under wow

here is diagram of human and tortle skeleton after tortle has enslaved human and make him walk like dog for amusement

turtles might be cousins to either lepidosaurs (sneks, lizrds n tuatara) or archosaurs (crocs n birbs) but probably archosaurs turtles are probably related to birbs which is cool

good jobs turtles ur so weird nice

#beautiful post   #fav  #i dont care if it might bemisinfo  

i have a literal degree in zoology and my final capstone thesis was on turtle evolution and phylogeny so this isn’t misinfo buddy buster brown @vulpiximisa fear not

I read this post twice and realized that it is actually the perfect form of science communication for Tumblr. There is nothing factually inaccurate here, despite what you would usually expect of posts with similar syntax. Bless you.
