This sea turtle at the S.C. Aquarium is having a ball swimming in the big tank.  Some fun facts according to the Aquarium:  Sea turtles have small brains and are opportunistic feeders who eat just about anything.  Loggerheads are the state reptile.  Loggerheads, classified as threatened since 1978, have lived on earth for about 150 million years — before even the times of dinosaurs.  If you’re enjoying the beaches on these hot summer days, please make sure to keep lights at a minimum at nights so loggerheads can lay eggs.  Photo by Courtenay Brack.
