The painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) is the most widespread native turtle of North America.

It lives in slow-moving fresh waters, from southern Canada to northern Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The turtle is the only species of the genus Chrysemys, which is part of the pond turtle family Emydidae.

Fossils show that the painted turtle existed 15 million years ago.

So get some regular turtles, a paint kit, and problem solve.

We used to have dodo birds. The world has gotten along just fine without them.

speak for yourself- I suffer anxiety, hives, excessive earwax buildup, hangnails, lumbago, and buildup of gas because they are extinct

That's because he knows that turtles survived the dinosaur extinction event.

I wonder if a .22 long rifle hollow point would penetrate that shell at an angle of 45 degrees at a distance of 30 feet.

Ignorance. These “scientists” pretend that LIFE writ large REQUIRES a particular modern climate status quo, and further pretend, contrary to the evolution history, that current species will not and cannot even - if they wanted to - adapt to climate change.

Yet the history of all life on earth, particularly the human, is a history of life adapting to climate change.

And humans most of all have shown we have the most superior abilities to adapt to climate change, managing to live in just about every climate on earth.

Yet, do not think that many life forms known to inhabit certain climate niches today are incapable of adapting to climate change. Many are modern day residents of their species, in their locales, whose predecessors survived earlier climate changes from what their ancestors experienced - by adapting to changes.

LIFE is THE strongest force in the universe, with ONE imperative - survival.

Let the climate alarmists die off, the earth will always be very much alive without them.
