Description: These earrings are unusual and will be much admired by your turtle (and tortoise) loving friends. Surely there are others… Turtles and tortoises fill many ecological niches, from the ocean to the desert. There are over 250 different kinds alive today. There are little bitty turtles only 4 inches across when grown, and gigantic leatherback sea turtles that weigh 2,000 pounds! Wow. It’s hard not to recognize a turtle. They all have shells. Some of them are soft and some of them aren’t as large as others, but it’s what makes a turtle or a tortoise what it is. They’ve been around for close to 200 million years. They have a unique anatomical feature, one that only turtles have among all the vertebrates. The pectoral and pelvic bones lie within the rib cage. This is due to the shell restriction. It’s just a way to make everything work within that limitation. One of the interesting things about aquatic turtles is that they can actually take in oxygen through their skin or sacks in the tail area developed for this purpose. However, all turtles, aquatic or not, have lungs. My sterling silver turtle earrings are fine little beasts, something to be enjoyed often dangling happily from those lobes. I made their land loving lizards into silver bearded dragon earring gifts along with some other friends you can find in silver reptile earring gifts. |
