this is a turtle.. but still..

[IRTehDuckie]

okay, so i was doing some looking around and i found this girl who claims to be in loveee with her turtle and she thinks he is the cutest thing ever... now im sure im not the only one who thought this when i seen the picture but what the hell is that? its either a clay piece, or a severly malnourished turtle...

somebody pleasee tell me this isnt real. it makes my heart sink =[

i dont think it is real, but the way she was talking about it makes it seem really very much alive.

---

its probably stupid of me to think that it can be real lol

If its stupid for you to think its real, well I will be stupid with you
I can't tell if it is real or not. I don't think it is, but weird things do happen and live. The nails are what kinda makes it look real to me. Most statques wouldn't have such long nails on it. Lets hope someone else has seen this some place on the internet and knows for sure if it is real or not. Where did you find it? If it is real, at least it is loved

It has a metal ring coming from the nose area so I think its fake...

 

[lisalove]

Totally has a metal ring through the nose--maybe it's a bull turtle!!!!!!!
I vote (hope) for fake!

I think I have this same Christmas ornament...

 

[SulcataSquirt]

haha kinda cool. looks like it was hand painted.

 

[Weda737]

crappy sculpting, good paint job.

It does look freakishly real to a point but the nose ring gives it away as a fake

 

[Tccarolina]

Isn't the front right leg bending the wrong way at the joint? Turtle elbows only allow the front legs to bend backward, not forward like this one does. Plus,there are no scales on the front legs. Other than that, and the nose ring, it does look like a malnourished, stunted real one, though.

 

[wellington]

I didn't notice the nose ring, I thought maybe it was a third eye or a weird nose.

It is concerning how unsure so many seem to be.
