It’s a pig! It’s a turtle! No, it’s a Pig-Nosed Turtle!

Can you think of any ways to use the words “pig” and “turtle” together in a sentence?  It may seem strange to consider using the two words together, but our team at porktastic is proud to share that we discovered a way!  While surfing the web, I found an interesting animal that I think all of you porklovers would enjoy hearing about!  The Pig-Nosed Turtle.

Did you know Pig-Nosed Turtles are being over hunted? Click on the picture to hear what Smithsonian.com had to say about it!

Apparently, this strange-looking creature got its unique name from its “pig-shaped” nose.  I can certainly see the similarity between the noses; Otherwise, I don’t think this little guy resemblances any of my pigs.

Don't get this turtle confused with the turtles below it!
These may look real, but they're actually a tasty recipe of bacon and hotdogs!

Do the turtles in these pictures look like distant cousins? Check back on Monday for details on how we combine the words “turtle” and “bacon” to make some delicious Bacon Turtles!
