Herp Palace

This blog is an informal place where I post and talk about Herpetology (The study of reptiles and amphibians). This will include scientific articles, fun news stories, and maybe a few fun videos or pictures of reptiles. So look forward to reading posts about crocodiles, turtles, snakes and lizards!

Why would someone do this?

Someone posted to twitter an image of themselves standing on a Galapagos Tortoise!!

These animals are very endangered and it is very sad that someone would do this just to post it to a social network site. According to the article this man could face up to 6 months in jail for standing on this beautiful animal.
