A TOUCHING STORY ABOUT A TURTLE

Rockaline, the turtle, lived for half a century on a kitchen floor, neglected, fed cat food, and in terrible shape. Rescued, she is now living a vibrant life in a sanctuary, eating strawberries (!) and hunting worms (!). In the second video, for the first time she is introduced to another of her kind. We are learning that all living creatures are far more sentient than previously recognized. 

If you would rather read the story (the YouTubes are kind of long and loud), here it is: https://www.npr.org/2025/12/12/nx-s1-5639989/rockalina-box-turtle-friend
