Growing

This is the first time I've noticed a turtle shedding an outer layer of its shell.

Many thanks for dropping by.

Interesting. I didn't realize they shed, it thought the shell grew with them

Wow--I never even thought about turtles shedding their shells, but it makes sense. Great find!

Very cute capture. I think they are posing for you. I don't think I've ever seen that with a shell either.

That is most interesting, I didn't know they shed either! It looks painful and like there is something wrong.

Very good capture! 365 is almost like biology class - we learn so much here.

Wow, I have never seen that! I always love nature shots like this showing what really happens out there in the wild.

I've never seen that either! I wonder if that's how they grow their shell?
