Tortoises are our slow-moving, peaceful reptile friends with hard shells made of keratin. Tortoises are land animals who can’t swim which distinguishes them from their relatives, the water-dwelling turtles.
Blue-Tongued Skinks have bright blue tongues, they move in a slithering motion and have so many snake-like features that it’s difficult to distinguish them from a snake…and that’s their plan!
It’s the laughter and joy I experience as people get to encounter animals in an up-close setting. I literally get to deliver joy to people all over Austin, and it’s awesome!
