Turtles: The Worst Thing to Be Turned Into

biohawk84 · 04-08-2019

Hi,
So I was sitting in my comparative vertebrate anatomy lab today dissecting a turtle and it dawned on me: being turned into a turtle might be the most physically excruciatingly painful thing ever.

For those that don't know, turtle shoulders and hips (and by extension arms and legs) are *INSIDE* the rib cage. Like seriously, reach back and feel your shoulder blade on the outside of your rib cage. Now imagine during a turtle TF your rib cage grows out forming the shell while your shoulder blade (and hip) have to physically move inside your rib cage.

No wonder turtle TF's are so rare! (And don't get me wrong, I love me turtle TF's but I haven't seen a good once since Dragon's "Mapped Out".)
