Who would think that slow
animals like a turtle would become a photo bombing object? This happened when the “barkada” of Diovani
de Jesus posed for posterity and behold! A turtle went up in the surface of the
water and was captured in the picture. Apparently, the turtle surprisingly surfaced to get a breath of fresh air. But upon closer look, you will notice that the
turtle wanted to be in the picture and made face in front of the camera. The turtle did not only get his own fifteen
minute of fame but the picture has spread over the Internet and has been shared
millions of times.

So, what do we get from
this story? First, I was happy that the
turtle just surprised De Jesus' friends instead of the turtle being captured and
forced to pose with the group. We do
hear lots of horror stories over the web, particularly in social media
network about how people can be cruel with animals just to get them to enter into the frame. Second, this picture shows
that animals have emotions too. And in
this case, the turtle acted naughty and malicious if you look seriously on its
face in the image. Third, let this
picture serve as a tool to spread the idea of “don’t touch, just see” when
diving, trekking, and enjoying other wildlife adventures; it is safer for both humans
and animals.
