And, as it turns out, my instincts were right. When I started researching this issue, I found that a person can be arrested in Michigan for leaving his or her kids alone in the car. I think most people have no idea that this is a law in this state. Under a law passed by the Michigan Legislature in 2009, parents or other adults:
I got very inspired while watching Blue Planet II. I enjoyed watching the green turtles being pampered at the reef's spa. However, I decided to paint a loggerhead turtle to raise awareness of plastic pollution in the ocean. Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are widely distributed reptiles and they can weight up to 450 kg. They are omnivorous, feeding mainly on small invertebrates. The loggerhead turtle gets its name from its exceptionally big head. They are an endangered species, illegal hunting poses a threat to their eggs.
