I fed this female box tortoise some raspberries at the beginning of the summer. Now, she follows me all over the garden, and visits me almost daily looking for handouts.

Dogs will. Then throw up from eating too many. They are kinda like cicadas, their goal in life is to be food for other creatures.

Have you ever seen them try to fly? It's amazing they can reproduce at all. June bugs have to be the stupidest fucking creatures on the planet.
