Friday Special - Sea Turtles

Every Friday, I will try to post something educational.  Hopefully I can create anticipation in my readers of which there are currently none.  I will start to tell people about my blog in about a week so. Today's educational blob is about my friend and everyone's friend the Sea Turtle.

 I read recently that Sea Turtles can breathe through their butts while on deep sea dives. This is not just fascinating.  This type of news is wonderous.  An auxiliary lung like structure is attached to part of the large intestine.  The process is called Cloacal Respiration and can draw oxygen out of sea water. 

"Smack me with The Beaver"  I am continuously astounded at diversity.
