Friendlymoose Photo Contest - ANIMALS

Hello to photography lovers in Hive. I hope you are having a great day. This is my first time entry to @friendlymoose contest - ANIMALS. This is also my first time to post using the Ecency app. The photo I have and my entry to the contest is of a large turtle from our visit to a zoo. I'm fascinated by turtles since I grew up watching our version of Sesame Street with a turtle as the main character.

picture of Pong Pagong is not mine. It was sourced from https://www.wazzuppilipinas.com/2023/04/batibot-philippines-version-of-sesame.html
There is also the folk tale of turtle and the monkey. It is a popular Filipino folk tale and often told as a bed time story. The monkey is cunning and lazy but the patient turtle often outsmart him.
There were other animals in the zoo but I like reptiles the best. They look unconcerned but they are dangerous.

The crocodile has thick, armor like skin. It has a bad reputation in our country and often corrupt politicians are called crocodiles. It's unfair to the crocodile, it has done nothing wrong. I find the crocodile interesting. It just sits still and wait for its opportunity to strike.

The python is the same as the crocodile. Snakes has a bad reputation too and traitors in our country are called "ahas" or snake. I find the python scary and fascinating. It grips its prey to death and swallows them whole.
I like the three photos of animals but only one is allowed to be entered in the contest.

Thank you. I will use the Ecency app for posting from now on.
Hello @crypto-hokage. I'm stopping by to let you know, you have a photo that it's not yours and it is not sourced. That is called plagiarism, which is not tolerated on Hive.
There's a video that is not available.
This is a photography community, where you post your own photos. Please fix what is broken here and let me know. Till then, I'm muting this post.
Sorry, the animals are mine. The picture of Pinoy Sesame Street is not, I edited and included the source. I removed the video link.
Unmuted the post. Next time make sure you respect community and chain rules when posting.
