Where’s Carlos beside a car?
They never include a proper size comparison!
He’s carless.
The turtle has “the site of a car”, 2.4 m apparently.
The sources I’ve found are not specific. The turtle with “the size of a car” might be 2.4 m or up to 3 m.
Then they might have found even bigger individuals in the meantime.
This is Stupendemys geographicus from Urumaco, Venezuela, and Rodolfo Sánchez from Coro, Venezuela.
They grew up to 4m long, according to https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/feb/12/giant-turtle-fossil-south-america-stupendemys-geographicus.
How many bananas for scale are in a Carlos?
