Just in case you missed World Turtle Day®
What a day! My twitter stream was busy with the buzz of World Turtle Day® and below we have some of stories and events that have filtered through so far. This year really had some extra va-va-voom about it so expect more World Turtle Day® stories over the next few days. I hope some of you managed to visit events near you, if so leave a comment about it, and gave your turtles and tortoises some extra attention.
