windandwater:

OKAY YEAH NO I WASN’T DONE please refer to my earlier post for all the facts but can I just for a minute

this is a Leatherback Sea Turtle and THIS fact is BLOWING MY MIND:

The leatherback turtle is the record holder, traveling an astounding 10,000 miles or more each year in search of jellyfish, crossing the entire Pacific Ocean from Asia to the West Coast of the US to forage off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. (x)

I got into this a bit in the captions last time but I need a whole post about this

LOOK AT THIS THING’S FACE IN THE TOP LEFT

THIS FUCKING TURTLE

IT TRAVELS TEN THOUSAND MILES A YEAR AND LIVES 30-80 YEARS

AND JUDGING BY THAT FACE I’M PRETTY SURE IT WOULD SIT DOWN AND TELL ME ALL THE STORIES OF ITS LIFE PROVIDED I WAS WILLING TO LISTEN TO IT GO ON AND ON FOR HOURS

WHICH I TOTALLY WOULD BE

AND I AM BASICALLY DEVASTATED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS CAN NEVER HAPPEN

In years to come, the leatherback sea turtle fandom will trace their origins back to this, the ur-post.
