WOW a turtle race!!!!! thats super cool. Whenever i think of turtles i think of Squirt and Dude from Finding Nemo. I love that movie. I wonder why a sea turtle became a sea turtle . Or how a land turtle converted into a sea turtle was it mutation ?

Hey Nikki,

Yes...this is pretty cool. I am going to watch this.

Evolutionarily...I think that scientists believe that amphibians eventually adopted a more land based life style over many generations which resulted in the reptile. This would have taken many years with those animals that were well adapted being able to survive and thus passing on their genes to the next generation.

Go here... click and read the evolution section down the page a bit. It is very interesting!

Mr. Forde :-)
