Tortue à nez de cochon - Elle vit exclusivement dans l'eau. Seules les femelles vont pondre leurs œufs dans le sable, tout en haut des berges. Les œufs éclosent dans l'eau lors des grandes crues. C'est la seule tortue dont les œufs éclosent dans l'eau.

Lieu : Nausicaa - Centre National de la Mer

Pig-nosed Turtle (Carettochelys insculpta), juvenile, family Carettochelyidae, found in northern Australia and southern New Guinea

ENDANGERED.

These turtles have no scales, and thus have a leathery shell. Its shell is made of bone, however, unlike "softshell turtles" in the family Trionychidae.

The tiger shark is a species of ground shark, and the only extant member of the genus Galeocerdo and family Galeocerdonidae. It is a highly nomadic species which inhabits tropical and subtropical waters world wide up to 3,000ft (900m) in depth, and is often found in coastal waters with particular abundance in the gulf of mexico, Caribbean sea, Indian ocean, and western pacific. Tiger sharks are often call the garbage cans of the sea and have reputation for eating almost anything. As such there diet is wide and heavily varied an is known to regularly include: small fish, jellyfish, crustaceans, cephalopods and other mollusks, rays, skates, sawfish, sea birds, sea snakes, sea turtles, other sharks, dolphins, seals, sea lions, dugongs, manatees, crocodilians, porpoises, and sick or injured whales. When near islands or coastlines they have been known to eat sheep, goats, dogs, pigs, rats, horses, deer, cattle, cats, camels, monkeys, inland birds, bats, lizards and inedible objects, such as license plates, cans, tires, books, boat oars, soccerballs and baseball bats. Tiger sharks are themselves occasionally preyed upon by orcas, great whites, and saltwater crocodiles. The tiger shark commonly reaches 10.5-14ft (3.2 -4.26m) in length and 385- 1400lbs (175 – 635kg) in weight, with the largest recorded reaching 18ft (5.5m) long and 3360lbs (1525kg). This ranks the tiger shark amongst the largest extant sharks on earth only being surpassed by the whale, basking, great white, pacific sleeper, Greenland, and blunt nosed sixgill sharks. They have a broad snout and stocky body with proportionally large fins and a long upper tail. Tiger shark teeth are unique with very sharp, pronounced serrations and an unmistakable sideways-pointing tip. Such dentition has developed to slice through flesh, bone, and other tough substances such as turtle shells. In the northern hemisphere the mating season takes place from march to may and the southern hemisphere from November to January, with males breeding every year while females breed once every 3 years. After a year long pregnancy mother tiger sharks give birth to 10 to 80 pups. Under ideal conditions a tiger shark may live upwards of 12 years.

In a recent rottmnt Interview they mentioned the sisters and everyone's focused on frida BUT IM DELUSIONAL so I made this.

God the heartfelt potential with her finding a family after being alone for so long. I can imagine the brothers either being taken aback by her or down right terrified of her. And maybe Leo with his background of the prison dimension feeling a kind of guilt or fear of the vision of what could have been him staring him in the eyes.

( shes a pig nosed turtle and shes named after the Italian Renaissance painter "Marietta Tintoretto")

Could I request donnie experiencing love at first sight w nb reader who's introverted, soft spoken and nice??? They're a friend of April and April decided that they should meet the guy's

they both just click, the type of click that makes the other's know that this duo would be together in the future

FIRST SIGHT

April thinks you would get along with the guys so she introduces you, not realizing that this would be the start of something nuclear between you and Donnie

Character: Donatello

Writing-type: Oneshot/Request

Warnings: absolutely tooth-rotting fluff,

Author’s Note: saw the request and absolutely fell in love. i think i’ll make First Sight a series with all my turtle boys. ( header credit to qoeww ) you don’t know how many times i’ve deleted and rewrote this damn oneshot :’)

...

“So these....friends of yours...live in the sewers?” you scrunched your nose as you and your pig-tailed friend trudged through the maze that is the sewers of New York.

“I don’t mean to be disrespectful, of course. It’s just.....odd.”

“Trust me, girl. You ain’t seen the half of it,” April proudly smirked.

She was giddy as a schoolgirl, practically bouncing off the walls in excitement.

You two were going to meet up with a couple of April’s friends, though she talks about them as if they’re practically family.

And any family of April’s, are friends of yours, no matter the place they live.

“Turn here,” she led, the sound of speakers blasting Biggie and Puffy getting louder and louder.

The turn led to this main tunnel, which brought the two of you right out to this gigantic skate ramp.

‘Whoa. These guys must be crazy to skate on that.’

“GUYS! WE’RE HERE~!” April happily shouted, making you wnce.

“Oops. Sorry,” she apologized, softly whispering as she gave you a pat shoulder.

“No worries,” you assured with a smile, turning your attention to the sudden sound of an incoming stampede.

“(Y/NNNNN)!” a turtle-man dressed in bright orange happily shrieked, swinging into the room with a kusari-fundo, and tackling you in a hug.

“HI! I’M MIKEY! WE’VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT YOU! OH, MI GOSH, YOU’RE SO PRETTY!”

“Nice to meet you, too, Mikey. But could you please let go. I.....can’t breathe,” you smiled through gasps, frantically tapping the turtle on his shell.

“Oh! My bad,” he sheepishly smiled, letting you go and taking a few steps back.

A much larger turtle-man, dressed in red, sighed as he walked over, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I’m sorry about my brother. He’s very touchy. My name is Raphael, nice to meet you.”

He held out his hand to shake and you happily took it, giving a firm shake. “Likewise. Nice to put a name to the face.”

“Right back attcha,” another turtle-man smirked, his head popping out of a portal.

You let out a startled yelp, quickly clinging to April.

“Leo!” She scolded, giving you a quick pat on the back.

“Sorry, sorry. Didn’t mean to scare ya,” he quickly apologized, fully stepping out the portal.

He was dressed in all blue.

“It’s alright,” you warmly assured, letting go of April.

“I hate to ask this, but I’d like to know why you aren’t screamin and runnin from our appearance. Or at least a little put off,” he bluntly asked, earning smack to the back of the head from Raph.

“Leo!”

“What?! I’m, just asking a question.”

“It’s no problem. April had already told me you four were turtle-mutants. At first I didn’t believe her, but after seeing all the crazy stuff that’s been happening in the city, it doesn’t seem like the weirdest thing anymore,” you explained with a smile.

The boys nodded with ‘ooooooooh’ faces before April cocked a brow, suddenly looking around. “Where’s Donnie?”

“Probably in his lab. You know the nerd, always has his face in a circuit board or somethin’,” Raph shrugged off.

‘Nerd? Circuit board?’

Now they’re speaking your language.

“Hold please,” Leo smirked, cutting open a portal and walking in.

He was in there a moment before out flew a turtle clad in purple, Leo walking out behind.

“Nardo! What the hell was that fo-?!” The words caught in his throat as he laid eyes on you, any scolding towards his brother going out the window.

Before him stood the prettiest woman he had ever seen, and probably ever will.

The shorts you were wearing had fit your thighs perfectly, and outlined your hips so deliciously, you’d think he was drooling. Not to mention your crop-top was effortlessly snug in all the right places.

It was making him feel flushed, drudging up urges that he didn’t know he had.

Donnie hated being cliche, but he guessed he could make an exception, just this once.

“Where have you been all my life?” he sighed under his breathe, happy that no one heard him.

“Hello! I’m (y/n), nice to meet you,” you smiled, holding out your hand to help him up.

He’s never held someone’s hand so fast.

And the second he made contact, a surge of electricity went right through him, going straight to his brain and turning it to mush right before his eyes.

“I take it you’re Donatello. April’s told me a lot about you. You seem to be the resident genius here,” you warmly complimented, making something bubble in his stomach.

“Oh-Oh! Yeah! I have a whole ton of tech I’ve made over the years. I could maybe show you it sometime if you’re up to it. Something tells me you’re an intellectual like myself.”

He was slowly gaining his confidence back, focusing all of it on making sure he didn’t say anything stupid in front of you.

“Oh, you better believe it. I don’t think there’s ever been a time where (n/n) hasn’t been on the honor roll,” April said proudly throwing an arm around your shoulder.

“Can we go see it now? I’d really like to see your setup,” you cheesed, practically making his heart melt right there.

“Of course! Right this way,” he smiled back, practically matching your enthusiasm.

As he led you towards his lab, he couldn’t do anything but ignore his brothers’ teasing coos and kissy-faces, April joining in as well.

He rolled his eyes, ignoring his family and his blush for the time being, focusing his thoughts and smile on your adorable rant about circuits.

He sighed, quickly realizing what was going on and not liking it one bit.

In the span of 10 minutes, you have gotten him to smile more than he has in a month.

There was no doubt about it. You were definitely going to be the end of him.

i'm too fucked to get on the table.

the anger got the best of me.

there were quite a lot of people laughing at me.

let's see these pricks.

this is very undignified.

those people should seek some sort of professional help.

the eyes. they're so angry.

i spent five days trying to get that.

welcome to my world.

i hadn't noticed you were there.

where did you develop the technique?

now we're getting somewhere.

it's really coming out the sides now.

does anyone have any tape?

my nose is burning quite badly and i feel dizzy and sick.

none of you noticed i wasn't there.

you went bright purple and couldn't speak for twenty minutes.

there's a lot going on.

come on. we've all been there.

a coconut. the largest of all nuts.

if you went to work with that, you'd be sacked immediately.

that's obviously my first question.

you made a very valid point.

come on, you piece of crap.

there's genuinely not a day that goes by where i don't think about it.

you may have just missed it by a second.

how's it hanging?

i know what i hear.

i stapled money to my tie.

my game plan for life was to overwhelm the holes.

how long did i do it for?

i need to get higher.

oh. it's down at the bottom.

do you know what i mean?

have you ever had a catchphrase?

i got so... so lucky.

i do miss them.

oh fuck off.

this normally works.

you're the worst liar i've ever seen.

i'm quite pleased with myself.

that was a hell of a performance.

i can get you something to perch on.

you absolute pig.

you used to call me that.

do you want to explain what you did?

there are people that claim it doesn't.

you could feel the tension in the room.

please make your way to the stage.

i always knew it would end this way.

have you genuinely got children?

good day to you.

you're not frightened of me, are you?

you weak, weak little turtle.

it's a big stuffed toy woodpecker.

it's all edible. it's all natural.

you're living in a dream world!

it comes with a free toy.

i can ask you to tell you the truth.
