mine is longer

Did you know that the earliest known turtles existed about 215 million years ago? That makes us one of the oldest reptile groups, more ancient than lizards (some of them live in the balcony with us) and snakes (never saw one before).

215 million years is a long time, especially when you compare that to humans, who originated in Africa only about 200, 000 years ago. So, my lineage goes further and longer than my owners. Wahahaha.

Sorry, cheap thrill. Just trying to entertain myself and encourage my siblings that this famine won't last! We will survive.
