Tiny Turtle Tom.

Browsing Yahoo! News as usual and found this really interesting picture of a turtle hatchling (Can we call it turtlite? :p) that's only the size of your fingertip!!!
So since seeing is believing, here are some pictures. Ta-da!

Tiny Turtle: Hey dude, heard of finger surfing?


Tiny Turtle: This is how you finger surf.
Surf's Up! Hang Ten!

Tiny Turtle Squad leader (left): Attention! Line up troops!
Ready for inspection by the General.
Tiny Turtle Troops: Sir, Yes Sir!!! (Tries to salute)

These tiny little fellas are Testudo Kleinmanni hatchlings, an endangered species also known as Egyptian tortoises.
They are now in Rome's Biopark zoo.
Nature is amazing in it's own ways. :)
