Today we had an array of "curious creatures" come to our house. I learned new things; daddy longlegs are not really spiders, an alligator has a U shaped snout while a crocodile has a V shaped snout, a chinchilla is the softest animal and lives for 30 years, and most shockingly...this little turtle walks fifteen miles a day. Holy crap.

I have no clue. The guy who came with the animals said that scientist's don't know what category they fit in. He was talking to six year olds, so wasn't getting super specific.
