Did you know that the G.T. eats grass, greens, fruit, veggies and cactus? They also are the largest species of the tortoise in the world. 15,000 to 16,000 survive in the Galapagos Islands. To get warm, turtles come out of the water and into the sun.

Have you ever touched a Western Hognose before? Well, I have. It felt smooth and slimy. And it felt different from the alligator because the alligator skin felt like big bumps in a road.

At the Alligator Farm we found the Green Tree Python.
Green tree pythons can reach lengths up to 6 feet. The vivid green coloring is speckled with blue, white and yellow stripes. The stripes provide excellent camouflage, which makes it very difficult to detect among leaves and small plants.

Textbooks have always been a difficult part of classes for me. I’ve paid attention, taken notes, re-read material, but I always find the texts difficult to grasp. I’m not alone. Many students feel textbooks are necessary, but wish they could get more out of them. They don’t see the need for a book when a professor is just going to condense it into notes during class.
A young man in a black shirt with red and orange flames held a sign in his hand as he yelled at a crowd of Flagler College students, “You are all sinners!”
In December 2011 during fall finals, Zachary Tatter, 23, stood outside the Proctor Library and preached to students. Tatter, along with his followers, continue to return to the sidewalks of Flagler College’s campus and around downtown St. Augustine to preach their Christian beliefs.

New year’s resolutions are never easy. Nor are they always followed through to the end. But for Elijah Hayes, backup point guard for the Flagler Saints, his first resolution is already coming to a successful close.
Hayes’ aim was to abstain from meat, dairy, refined sugar, starches and flour for 21 days. No easy task when he had practice six days a week and played 1 to 3 games a week. But Hayes said it was worth it.
