Makes you feel GOOD!
Yeah, but when off-camera, he placed the other on top of a post.
They are a lot smarter than they look, I’ve seen some amazing things by watching critters.
Neat! Creature ping
Turtles ARE smarter than people realize. I raised an Eastern Painted for years, from the size of a nickel until he was as big as my hand. He was NOT stupid.
Then one night, while he dreamed in his summer ‘kiddie pool’ enclosure, ‘Something’ came along, tore up the chicken wire; and turtle disappeared.
We never found any debris; and I like to think it was just a raccoon who took him to the creek, and Margareto now has many progeny :-)

An atheist is bound to point to this and say,

nice
Well, atheists don’t understand Spirit; and the fact that everything that is alive has Spirit in it. Spirit is God in all of us - critters, too; and the land and the seas, etc.

How do you know? Do you speak tortoise?
He probably said "OK buddy, thanks for the lift. I'll meet you down at the salad bar and the lettuce is on me."
And how would you rebut that?
Do I speak Tortoise? I invented Tortoise.
Everything has ‘polarity’; but not everything is about ‘sex’ or the desire to sexually ‘mate’.

Even checkers?
Playing it certainly does (if the game is what you mean). There is a positive/negative “pole” to everything.
