Ity-Bity Little Tortoises

Because they're so cute, I had to share a quick link to the Woodland Park Zoo's tiny little new members. It's little moments like this that remind me why we have to strive to let people know the importance of protecting creatures like these from extinction.

Plus, watching those tiny little buggers crawl around made me smile.
