Sunburns & Snickers: These Beach Pics Will Make You Thankful for Air Conditioning!

It’s Shell-fie Time!

This woman captures the perfect “shell-fie” with a tortoise, both flaunting smiles as if sharing an inside joke. Tortoises, often mistaken for their water-loving cousins, turtles, prefer dry land, making them more inclined to photobomb beach picnics than to dive into the ocean. While tortoises can indeed bite if threatened, this one seems only interested in stealing the spotlight.

A fascinating tidbit about these gentle giants, particularly the ones from places like the Galápagos Islands, is their size. Thanks to ‘island gigantism,’ they grow significantly larger than their mainland counterparts, a testament to nature’s adaptability and the unique ecosystems of remote islands.
