If you’re thinking about owning a pet but don’t feel like getting a dog or a cat, some people might say that one of the best options is getting a turtle. A lot can depend on an individual, but some people find these creatures to be perfect pets as they live longer and they don’t require as much energy as, for example, dogs. It might seem that turtles are a rare choice when it comes to picking a pet, but here are some moments when people online decided to share their adorable pet turtles or pictures that capture how amazing they truly are. Which one of these is your favorite? Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!
Screaming Turtle! Or maybe it's laughing? Juvenile loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta). (West Palm Beach, Florida) This was a turtle that was rescued by researchers after not making it out of its nest. After being raised for a bit in captivity, we released them into the wild. This was its first moment in the ocean. Taken with Canon D60, Sea & Sea housing, 2 x Ikelite DS-125 strobes. See this shot at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History here: www.echeng.com/journal/2006/01/30/screaming-turtle-smiths...

This iconic moment is every wildlife photographer's dream, at Serengeti, Tanzania There are only a few places in Africa where lions often climb up into trees. The pride that lives around Lake Ndutu, is one of them. It’s a sight you’ll never forget—an entire pride of lions, from the smallest cub to the pride male himself at times, lounging about in Acacia trees and completely at home all the way up there. It allows them to catch the cool breeze that blows just slightly off the ground and gives them the ability to scan around them for approaching prey like zebra and wildebeest. This particular pride spent the whole day in this tree and hardly paid any attention when this herd of elephants walked by. It sure would have been an interesting situation if the elephant herd came over to feed on this particular tree.
