Anatomical Studies!

Sense of Smell: Turtles have a very good sense of smell. As mutants, the brothers keep this keen ability. Sense of Hearing: Turtles can only hear low frequency sounds. As mutants, the brothers do have a visible ear with a much broader range. Sense of Sight: Turtles have good vision, and can see deeper reds than a human. This allows them to see better in the dark. Sense of Direction: Turtles can sense strong magnetic fields, which lets them determine the cardinal directions. Syndactyly: The phalanges of the turtles are fused together, as well as their carpal bones. This is a side effect of their turtle DNA, as some turtles lack the fully five fingered body plan on all limbs. Thermoregulation: As mutants, the turtles can produce their own body heat while active, but rely on ambient temperature while at rest. They can shiver, but cannot get goosebumps. They cannot sweat, and thus need to cool down via other means or they overheat. Expressions: As mutants, they have far more control over their faces than normal reptiles. Their expressions are very human, made with mammalian muscle groups.

Anatomical studies!

So, there was a line in TMNT’03 when Raph complains about his ribs that got me thinking, isn’t a turtles shell their ribs?

So, I did a little looking into the skeletal structure of turtles and how it might apply to the brothers, particularly the Rise brothers as they’re all different species. Here’s the little chart of common bone and scute patterns, and some speculation on how their reptilian features affects them!

I’ll post my individual skeletal studies after!

Discord is officially blocked in Russia

anti-DPI programs can handle Discord here's Goodbye DPI w/ GUI here's ByeDPI, possibly nicest solution for Android other variants can be found here

regarding VPNs - Windscribe is still the real one, w/ non-standard protocols and special "hostile network" switch, one problem though - limited traffic, so you most likely have to juggle it w/ some noname VPN apps or proxy add-ons

note that it's illegal in Russia to talk about blocks circumvention, so if you don't live in Russia, please share this post, so your followers, who live there could see it and use it

Okay so no I didn’t have an ask to answer about him but someone did ask in the replies so I say close enough

I love these two a lot already

Caiman adopted Little Bug, calling him by that nickname since it was one of the only words he knew. Also yes, he has a genetic mutation where he has two tails and two stingers/barbs. Yes, she loves him very much and also yes sometimes he gets really confused why mom doesn’t have a stinger at all.

{ID: Three frames consisting of two dragons, a very small tan and brown one and a much larger maroon and red one.

The tan and brown one has two tails, and is a different kind of dragon than the large one.

‘yes he has two stingers’

‘I don’t think that changes anything’

‘Still my Little Bug.’

‘BUG!’

END ID}
