The snake neck turtle is also appropriately named for a turtle with a neck 60% as long as its shell. These two fascinating species of turtles, along with 10 others, will soon be live on display at Fernbank Museum as part of the new exhibition “Turtles,” opening June 7.

He also recalls taking pieces of charcoal and dashing around buildings to draw haphazard lines on the walls while his mother, a street chef, served her homemade jollof rice to passersby.
