Amelia met a turtle once-- she was utterly fascinated by it. I mean, it's a
container, with something inside it, right? So she wanted to get whatever
it was out of there! I think the turtle might have nipped her on the nose,
so she focused more on the legs and tail holes. When I realized just how
excited and serious Amelia was about getting that turtle out of its shell,
I ended the interaction before somebody got hurt or traumatized. It was
amusing at first, but ultimately I think a scary experience for the poor
turtle. I second Karen's recommendation!
