7 New Candy Favorites For Halloween
As much as I love celebrating Halloween, some parts of it — like haunted houses, trick-or-treating, and even certain kinds of candy — remind me I'm not a kid anymore. That's why I've decided to introduce some alternative, homemade confections that are refined enough for even an adult gourmand such as myself. Curious to know what my new candy favorites are?
Galapagos Tortoises Are Messy Eaters!
Umm, someone's in need of a bib! This Galapagos Tortoise just finished a snack in the new 'Giant of the Galapagos' exhibit at the London Zoo and seems like his haste made some waste all over his little turtle chin. Oh well, let's not point fingers at this 70-year-old (!) animal who weighs about 440 pounds — after all Dirk's joined by two female tortoises (Dolly, 16, and Dolores, 14) in hopes of starting up a breeding program at the zoo.

The Scoop: Endangered Chinese Box Turtle Born in Bristol
Even though the lil guy (or girl?) is just a half-ounce and one-and-a-half-inches long, it'll eventually grow to be closer to seven inches and two pounds. This Chinese box turtle was born at the Bristol Zoo on August 12, and can live to be over 50 years old!
As happy as I am to see this newborn, unfortunately these turtles are endangered in the wild because they've been hunted for their meat or for medicinal purposes for too many years – good thing this one's safe!

Sand Saviors Help Baby Turtles Find Their Way!
Each evening at dusk, you'll find people walking along Palm Beach Shores in Florida. It's not just because the ocean is pretty enough to warrant a daily visit, but they're looking for movement in sea turtle nests there. When volunteers locate an active nest, they lend helping hands to the leatherbacks and dig channels to create a clear pathway to water for the babies.Creature Features: Turtles, Terrapins, or Tortoises?
Now we already learned a little something about sea turtles, but what about all those other turtles in the world . . .
Happy World Turtle Day!
Happy World Turtle Day! In honor of this occasion honoring the leathery backed creatures, I wanted to share a sweet story with you. It stars this female Yangtze soft-shell turtle recently relocated to a zoo in Suzhou, China.
Turtle Loves Cat, Cat Doesn't Love Back
It's a story as old as time itself. Cat loves dog, dog doesn't love cat back. And then you have this: a turtle desperate for this cat's affection.
Want Beautiful Skin? Try Eating Piggy Feet
My mom has always enjoyed unique foods. As a kid I remember her chowing down on plates full of things that I couldn't — at the time — enjoy. One of her fave weird treats happened to be pigs' feet.
