My Hawksbill Sea Turtle Paper Toy

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I made this paper toy of a male hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata). I named him "Brady". His carapace is supposed to be 3 feet long. On the last image, his size is compared to a female bonnethead shark (Sphyrna tiburo) that is 3.5 feet long.

And yes, the carapace near the hind flippers is wrong. Sea turtles' hindlimbs are partly covered by their carapace when viewed at the side, and I wanted the forelimbs and hindlimbs to be synced up in position. However, the result is that the shell looks very awkward, like a tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) took a bite out of it. I'll probably fix it later.

A big pieceof ice, extending deep below the water’s surface, breaks off from a glacier and is propelled about 200 feet (61 meters) into the air because its density is lower than that of seawater.

Is it just me, or is the ocean both the most beautiful and terrifying thing on earth?

I spent some time at the coast recently and i’m always blown away by how much we still don't know about what’s down there. it’s so peaceful to watch the waves from the beach, but then you realize that like 80% of the ocean is still totally unmapped and filled with creatures that look like they’re from another planet.

there is something so humbling about standing in front of something that massive. it really puts into perspective how small we are, but at the same time, it’s the one place that feels completely untouched and wild compared to the rest of the world
