I like the baby A’Tuin.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

See. That’s why you need the tiny elephants, A’Tuin.

Meat eaters taste gamy. You might want to eat meat to make yourself unattractive to predators.

Hmmm, the world seem a little round rather than a disc…

You’re part of the food chain anyway. Predators mostly eat herbivores, remember?

“Made it, Ma! Top of the food chain!” (With apologies to Jimmy Cagney and the writer(s) of White Heat, 1949)

You think you’re too good for the food chain? How does that carrot feel about it? Fungus will get us all.

Don’t really think being a vegan, vegetarian, or an omnivore makes any difference to a hungry carnivore.

As I understand all living things are part of the food chain … because it’s a closed loop.

Opps, there goes the world.

We are Nature’s experiment. We are separated from Nature and from cause & effect in understanding it. It is a bad idea we are separate in mind from Nature and damage ourselves with our unnatural ideas and devices.

Unless we can overcome these deficiencies, we can rise to the heights we imagine.

I had imagined the World Turtle as being a little larger. https://tinyurl.com/zcalzhr

Be that as it may, and despite lurking potential predators, Dziva looks like she does need meat!

The world on the back of a turtle? That’s one mythical being I’d never considered.
