Look upon the Turtlenator and Be Afraid:

Here's another cute clip - no cat, but an adorable turtle (I love turtles):

The turtle wanted to *eat* the tomato :) Of course cherry tomatoes are roly poly things, aren't they? I see he finally got his snack. Too cute!

> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_N_rjkdcKU I've never had a turtle, so I didn't realize how much they interacted with other animals. There's another video of a turtle and cat, where the turtle keeps trying to get the cat's attention. It keeps going up to the cat, raising itself on its hind legs, and stretching out its neck, as though going, "Yoo hoo! Talk to me!" The cat, meanwhile, is far more interested in something off-camera, and completely ignores the turtle, only occasionally brushing it away as a minor annoyance. I looked for it today on youtube, but couldn't find it.
But the main thing I noticed, in both videos, is that the turtles seem very aware of the other animals in their environment and are trying hard to interact with them. Just something cool I didn't know about them, never having had one.

They often seem to think it's some kind of weird moving rock. ;) But before those two clips, I had never seen a turtle mess with a cat.

Those are either just maverick, bad*ss critters, or they must be moms protecting their babies. Especially the bunny. I especially loved it at the end, when the snake had fled up the tree, and the bunny seemed so say, "And don't come back!" Sherry

Woops, I was redundant. I just saw your post in the other thread, Theresa. That's really interesting about bunnies! I don't know a whole lot about rabbits, just watch the ones that come into the back yard to eat what spills from the bird feeders. From my observation I thought their primary defense is being statue impersonators when they hear a weird noise.

They can be ferocious when they want to be! I have watched the ones that live in/near our back yard (they love to come and munch on the goodies (we have lots of clover, wild violets, dandelions & other weeds in the yard - we were going to use the broadleaf weed killer on them, but decided not to when we saw the buns happily munching away on them), and seem acclimated to both us and our ancient, half-blind, half-deaf dog) - one boy bunny (I could see his dangly bits) actually *chased* a rival away from his girlfriend. The girlfriend has a broken rear leg, and we thought about trying to catch her and have it set - but we never heard back from the wildlife people about it (this was last year) and she gets around nicely on three - she's a fast li'l lady. It looks as though it set itself, but not in the right configuration. I think they successfully had a couple of little ones as we've seen some smaller bun-buns near them in during their evening forage.
And yes, we buy rabbit pellets and scatter them throughout the yard. We want healthy buns!

We > want healthy buns!- Hide quoted text - Awww..that's so cute about the jealous boyfriend-bunny. Our backyard bunnies originate from a huge brush pile out in the back field. They live there. It's quite an eyesore, and is the product of some trees that blew down in a storm that we cleaned up last year. We planned all along to burn the brush pile as soon as things greened up. Now we can't :-(

Ever notice how rodents and lagomorphs are really BIG back there? They look like they're borrowing someone else's equipment. :P

Amazingly, they had the ability to "tuck" them in when they felt threatened..... A feature some human males wish they had ;)

> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJr2evLANsE Yes!! Thanks for finding it. That turtle wants the cat's attention so much, but the cat is riveted on whatever's happening outside the video frame. (At one point, the turtle is also watching the external goings-on - what can it be?) It's just so cute the way the turtle tries to climb onto the front of the kitty (who is lying down), with its front legs up on kitty's chest and its neck craned as far as it can go!

Isn't that kitty gorgeous, though? (I mean the orange kitty. The white one is cute, but I like cats with normal heads better. :))
