I'm bored at work and was doing some reading. Anybody ever heard of this ancient turtle?

"It was originally thought to be a member of the genus Meiolania, but, anatomical differences lead to its placement in a new genus, which was named in honor of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

Pretty cool, huh? It's a pretty gnarly looking creature!
