Turtle Talk - Maybe Dr. Doolittle Had Something There

It seems that turtles have been talking to one another, actually communicating with one another. That goes for at least one species of river turtle (species name not given - what an omission by the reporter) in South America. Scientists believe they are communicating with their offspring and actually showing a low level of parental care. An interesting article about this can be found at this link which was supplied by Deb H (hat tip for and my thanks to her): http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-28807901#?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter.

So it seems that Dr. Doolittle may have known something with all his talking to the animals.

All the best,
