I was watching Discovery Channel... or maybe it was Animal Planet, either way it was one of those informative channels that ends up educating you without making you want to stab yourself in the neck with a dull pencil.
They were documenting some eagles who were having a tough time getting a meal out of the turtles that were in their habitat. They couldn't figure out for the life of them (no pun intended) how to penetrate the turtles shells to get to the meat. After some time, the eagles began to actually pick up the turtles and fly very high into the air and actually drop the turtle in mid-air sending it crashing to the ground hence opening up its shell.
Then, the eagle would devour the turtle.
So, despite the shell that the turtle has to protect it from its predators, one predator eventually figured out a way to get around the defense.
Whats the lesson in this? If you are a turtle, and you build a perfect little world that only exists inside of the comfort of your shell, it is inevitable that one day whether you like it or not someone is going to take you out of your comfort zone. Just hope that they don't eat you alive once they do it.
Good luck to all of my turtles out there!
