Peanut the Hourglass Turtle

Hello everyone! We are the Evergreens! In this post you will learn about a sad little turtle that is shaped into an hourglass.


I know what you're thinking, there's another breed of turtles? No! The image above is Peanut, when she was a small turtle, she got entangled into plastic soda rings. When she grew, her shell formed around it and gave her an hourglass shape. Her internal organs could not develop under the circumstance, which meant some of her organs where still undeveloped. Peanut got lucky, but other turtles in the same situation weren't so lucky, many died. But Peanut still lives on to teach people about litter in the ocean. We are following in Peanut's footsteps. Will you?
