A species of human-like animals that are born
on the island of turtopia carry the turtlenerd gene called turtitis and, are usually adopted by human parents. Turtlenerds are born with a shell, but human parents
generally have it removed at a young age so that their child can better fit in with other human children. Turtlenerds commonly wear jackets zipped
all the way up their neck in order to cope with their shell removal. As they age, turtlenerds develop a liking of both food and reading.
Jill-"Ashly did you that girl
over there?"
Ashly-"Yeah she's really weird. She always keeps her jacket
zipped up and all she does is read."
Jill-"I know, she must be a turtlenerd or
something"
