Both the following cards are the results of a private swap with one of the postcrossers, Michael, who happens to have turtle cards:

The first card shows a snapping turtle. The snapping turtle defends itself with its jaws because unlike other other turtles, it is unable to pull itself completely inside the shell. Yea, I know it looks fierce, I got a shock when I retrieved this card from the envelope *shrugs*

The second card shows the Galapagos tortoise - possibly the biggest tortoise that died recently at the age of 176. I kid you not, it could live up to 176 years of age!!
If you think this post might benefit other bloggers:
