It's been hot here in Oregon. Really hot. Like SoCal hot...I thought I left SoCal? Anyway... I set up a kiddie pool for the kids and at the end of the day, just before draining it, I decided to test the "tortoises can swim" theory.
I plopped Levi into the water and he sunk like a rock exhaling a stream of bubbles! Oh no! Sorry Levi...
I tried it again but this time I held him for a moment before letting him go. I'm guessing he kept the air in his lungs this time cuz he floated just fine. Then he swam. Yep, Levi can paddle his cute, scaly legs and swim! It was awesome to watch.
I took a great video. High resolution and some good paddling going on...But I have no clue how to upload it LOL
Maybe my low res "textable" version will upload. It's not as good but it's something. Let me try it..
Nope. Didn't work..lol
At least you can see some pics
Stay cool!
