Just kidding.

Hee hee - that is the only turtle of the eight I saw that had the green stuff all over his shell. It covers parts of the marsh they were in, but any other turtle would probably have cleared a spot, or come up therough the green stuff vertically so a minimum of gunk got on his/her shell, but not this one. This was the "special" turtle! (The Karen turtle - I am well known for getting marker, pen, whatever - all over me and not noticing.)
