My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

    That hog nose is strange enough, but purple? I went looking, and discovered they aren’t really purple. The color in the photo probably is caused by aquarium lighting, or camera settings, or both. Too bad, really!

      Isnt it?! I was surprised when I saw this creature and had to make sure I take a frontal photo of it.
      Your observation is probably accurate about the color.

      I said the same thing and had to do a double take! Never expected to see a reptile like this one. Something from a cartoon!

        Yes, a cartoon! Maybe your kids could draw one.

    He’s an oddity, Isn’t he? Hope I haven’t hurt his feelings xx

      I think he may appreciate your comment! He likes to be an oddity and stand out in the aquarium.

    I had never seen or heard of a pig nose turtle. Thanks for the two images that show off its odd features. 😊

    Now that’s different and when I saw the first picture, before honing in on the pig nose feature, I almost thought it was a stingray as its flippers are so huge.
