What turtle do you think each of the saltburn characters would be?
i LOVE this question. Let's see....
Oliver - Mata mata. Great at camouflage, sneaking up on unsuspecting prey. Somewhat unusual appearance, compared to other turtles.
Felix - Green sea turtle. Charismatic, everyone loves them, the poster child of turtle conservation. Objectively pretty.
Farleigh - Painted turtle. Very American. Colorful, but not excessively so. Often found basking in large groups (often alongside oher kinds of turtles).
Venetia - Pig-nosed turtle. The only freshwater turtle species with front flippers resembling those of sea turtles. As though trying to be as adored and appreciated as green sea turtle felix, but entirely different in nature, and doomed to fall short of the ideal. Deserves more love.
Elspeth - Ryukyu black-breasted leaf turtle. Rare, highly sought-after and attractive.
Sir James - Aldabra giant tortoise. A bit dry, old-fashioned, but with a noble air to them. Wait a long time to die.
Duncan - Leatherback sea turtle. Black and white in color, resilient, can tolerate a broad range of temperatures. Kinda mysterious/elusive. Nobody knows exactly how old they can get. Also they're vulnerable - not as many in the world these days as there once were.
Poor Dear Pamela - Painted terrapin. Flashy, eccentrically colored. Critically endangered (rip pamela)
Michael Gavey - Common musk turtle. These guys have a great skill for repelling potential predators by releasing an awful musk. A bit repulsive to anyone who gets too close.
Annabel/India - Red-eared sliders. Too many people get them as pets, then quickly realize they dont want them, and let them go, like the one-night-stand of pet turtles. Pretty, but so common that they end up just blending in with the background. Often bask in groups.
