Actually, I think you'll find that that'sa 'Murray River' turtle -- the Murray River was almost as big as the Mississippi River (over 4000 miles of navigatable waterways in the 19thC) -- but is dying from a combination of climate change (drought) and human idiocy. Farmers, insisting on growing water-guzzling crops are taking far too much water, so that nativer species can't breed, and their fertilizers, along with introduced aquatic species such as carp, are causing algal blooms such as is affecting this turtle. The algae uses up all the oxygen which further threatens native species (again carp are low-oxygen tolerant and take over). Funny pic.... but very sad reality

For pity's sake, if you're going to organise your education system as some kind of gladiatorial arena, don't be surprised if people get hurt. Frankly, with that kid's 'master of the universe' attitude, I hope that he doesn't procreate.

We are obviously thinking alike -- I posted about flickr's 'Lifeless Faces' group earlier today too... but I'll be cross-linking to this one asap...great find!
