Remains of Giant Turtle Discovered – No Teens or Mutants, though

The discovery of the remains of a giant turtle has become the subject of a lot of attention recently, given how much of a “giant” the discovery was – estimated to be as big as a small car when it was alive.

Found in the dig-site of a Columbian coal mile, the fossilized remains of a giant Carbonemys cofrinii (AKA Coal Turtle) is estimated to be 60 million years old, with the giant turtle prowling the earth with massive powerful jaws.

Researches also noted the presence of another fossil close to the proximity of the giant turtle, the shell of another turtle of the same species, which measures five feet and seven inches wide.

"It's like having one big snapping turtle living in the middle of a lake. That turtle survives because it has eaten all of the major competitors for resources," shares Researcher, Dan Ksepka of North Carolina State University, referring to the setup the fossilized remains were found.

The giant turtle discovery falls in line with the area’s reputation for gigantic creatures being present at the time, with records even indicating that one of the largest snake fossils ever found hails from the same area, estimated to have been alive some 60 million years ago.

The giant turtle, given its size, was in the position to basically devour anything it could grab hold, as the image of the giant turtle wrestling with a crocodile comes into mind. The turtle is winning, of course.

With a skull comparably as large as football player’s helmet, the power of its jaws would have been really strong, and as it size is massive, the allusion of a Classic Volkswagen Beetle would understandably come up, when talking about the giant turtle’s car-comparable comparison.

Reunited After Close to 2 Years

Heartwarming tales of lost family pets reunited with households are rare, and a recently told tale of its caliber comes in a rarer, more hard-to-encounter variation – a pet turtle reunited with her family after nearly 2 years being apart from them.

Katrina, the once-lost now-found turtle, was happy with the Cody’s who warmed up to her, naturally. Taking part in day-to-day home activities, Katrina would sleep with the kids, and spend time playing with the family in the backyard.

The Cody’s were so attached to Katrina, the family actually awarded her the distinction of being the family mascot of the family’s go-kart racing team.

Sadly, Katrina and the Cody’s were separated from each other one fateful day in 2010.

But all that changed when Hickory Parks worker Trish Passman found Katrina simply chilling out in a parking lot, some 19 months after Katrina and the Cody’s were separated.

Passman noticed a dog tag hanging on the back of the turtle’s shell, and after cleaning it up as best as she could, managed to read out the details written on the tag.

After calling the number and leaving a message, Eric Cody then informed the kids of this trip to Hickory, under the guise of picking something up for the family’s go-cart race team. Needless to say, that something was the team’s official mascot, whose reunion rates high as a heartwarming tale of lost pets once again found.

Now back with the Cody’s, its business as usual for Katrina minus one aspect – she’s no longer allowed to go out the backyard, unsupervised.

Turtles are animals belonging to ancient animals, because the turtles has been there since the age of dinosaurs. And now this animal is included in the protected animals, because the population was recorded only a little. Turtles have a very strong memory, as evidenced when turtles hatch and enter the ocean, sea turtles wade through thousands of miles, when the turtle will lay eggs, the turtle will be back where the turtle was first into the sea.

turtles are reptiles, turtles spend most of his life in the water, looking for food and play, but the occasional turtle ride surface to take oxygen to fill his lungs.

Turtles lay eggs, like reptiles in general, turtle eggs slightly soft and rough. In some species such as sea turtles, the temperature determines whether an egg develops into male or female: higher temperatures lead to women, a lower temperature causes male.
