I never had turtle egg before, I am betting that they taste very different from a chicken egg, given their diets are so different.
What makes turtles different from other reptiles is that they have a shell and can pull their limbs and head inside the shell. I remember in elementary school some zoo people can in to class with turtles. I one question was asked, how can you tell a female turtle apart from the male turtles? The animal person answered that the under shell of the males are flat which aids their balance when they are on top of the female's shell.
The most famous turtles in my opinion has to be the teenage mutant ninja turtles. The cartoon was the best, but I could not watch it frequently because the TV I had as a young child could not pick up that specific station that show was on. There is that turtle on pbs cartoon, I don't know its name, but I can't possibly be more famous than the ninja turtle.
I once had a turtle as a pet. My mother bought I for me, in a supermarket, it lived in my living room for quite sometime. Sometimes when I watched it through the tank I felt sorry for it could not venture off in the outside world. My mother would let the turtle roam in the backyard sometimes. Then one day when it was in the backyard, it disappeared, it could have ran away or was stolen. I like to think that it is free with other turtle friends.
Turtles live very long lifetimes. Because of this, culture portrays turtles as very wise and calculating. In fighting video games, to play cautiously, waiting for moments to counter the opponent is to turtle.
The turtle somehow isn't a Chinese zodiac animal. If I were to put in a turtle based on the theory for which the order of the animals was decided, the turtle would have it's year once every fourty eigth years. It would be like a leap animal.
Turtle doves are actually birds and that is what my true love gave to me on the second day of chirstmas, two of them actually. I don't know why.
