Diving Turtle knows how to put on a show.

Three years after he made his first big splash at the Players, Diving Turtle was back Sunday at the par-5 16th to show off his new routine.

In 2011, he wowed the crowd at TPC Sawgrass with a half-flip. He tried to score points with a routine with a high degree of difficulty. (You ever try doing a flip with a shell on your back?) Alas, he was docked several points for his huge splash.

Last year, with help from a volunteer, Diving Turtle went with the belly flop. A huge hit with the crowd.

On Sunday, in an obvious attempt to limit his splash and get a higher score, Diving Turtle went with a more traditional head-first dive.

So which dive was better? You be the judge:

Watching turtle dive into water at golf event >>>>> Watching golfer dive into water at golf event to avoid Asian hornets:

Even though I did find out golfers are real athletes from this video - if you get stung 20 times by Asian hornets, then birdie a couple holes after "walking it off," I'm not questioning you.

I know.The pictures of the live ones in the markets are depressing.Some people catch the gravid females and cut the eggs out,sew the female back up and turn loose,mistakenly thinking that she can survive that.A slow painful death.
They serve dog in Asia,Korea even has a special meat dog breed, bet you wouldn't want to try that out anymore than I'd want to eat an iguana taco.

Maybe I love dogs in more than one way.
An as far as you know dog could be a dietary staple of mine.
:D

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out they use dog meat for hotdogs.
I prefer bratwurst, myself.

A friend from Wisconsin told me how to fix brats like they do up there,first you boil them in beer,then put them on the grill,then you put them back in the beer and heat them some more,then enjoy by washing down with lots of beer.He fixed them this way for church fund raisers,they sold lots of them :D They even had beer and bingo in the church basement on Saturday nights.That church might be ok.

No telling what Taco Bell uses for their taco meat.
Let's just say I've never knowingly had iguana tacos anywhere including Taco Bell, but if I did I really don't care as long as they tasted decent.
I've eaten other reptiles.
