Carnivore

Charlotte got some guppies! In the beginning there were three. Now there are two. This turtle absolutely enjoys skittering around her habitat searching for the new neighbors. While they are fast, she is more so than the old adage proclaims of her species. Hunting appears to be a new pastime, although the basking rock is still her favorite hangout. The water at the surface of the rock must be right at prime temperature as she likes to float there and watch her human working. One must think she might get tired of chasing fish around and staring at a human on a computer all day. It is apparent however that she is quite content and seemingly entertained most times. There is an outdoor habitat which she enjoys during the brightest times of sunshine in the day. This space has significantly more water for her to exercise, yet she seems nearly uninterested most days to have the additional space rather hiding under the largest rocks, almost so in knowing that she is susceptible to larger predators than her own self. For now she is growing faster than would be expected of such a little life that will live so long. Eventually she will be outgrowing habitats and guppies alike thus causing her human the expectancy of investing into pond materials and larger fish. Throughout these days as Charlotte enjoys her next fully carnivorous meals there will be much terror through much light as this circle of life is exposed before our eyes. It does lead one to wonder of the delicacy purpose within this meal. Do we need meat, or is it merely delicious? Some people, some places, eat turtles. This need not be a politically correct statement or not. This is merely a thought exposed out loud. Remember now, via the eyes of a turtle. Most turtles do not have their own blogs. Charlotte does. She says “Yum Yum”.
