I don't know why, but the turtles at Duck Pond are funny. I didn't know it happened in the animal kingdom too--I thought it was only humans that you found strange people that lived in certain places, but...
I'm serious. If you ask the other animals in the rest of the park, they'll all tell you the turtles at that pond are a little different. Oh yeah...I forgot; animals don't talk. But really. I've seen turtles there in the strangest poses or even drying off in the rain!
I had to post this drawing I made of this turtle. I've seen quite a few turtles who anchor themselves onto a boulder with their front appendages then lift their back legs up and let the air flow through, but this basker was a nonconformist. He apparently made sure he wasn't going to fall over after getting situated then pulled his FRONT legs back into his shell and basked that way!
I am glad God deals with us as individuals, aren't you? Some of us are strange turtles!
