Life is so amazing. With life, so many amazing things can happen even without us knowing it. It was simply incredible at times.
The terrapins tank comes with a transparent cover as shown in the picture below:
Everyday Dora was so amazed at the terrapins as well. She would sit down close by the tank and observe the terrapins. Now she had learned to open the cover of the tank! Imagine a cat with four legs, without hands, just legs, but they had tried to use their forelegs as hands! Dora used her forelegs or 'hands', using her claws to lift up the cover! How smart of her!
After lifting up the cover, she licked the terrapins! This is her way of learning more about these new friends in the water.
Anyway, the water in the tank was not changed for more than a week. So the white pebbles contains algae and a stalk of moss was found! So amazing, a stalk of moss with stalk and leaves in the water just appear out of nowhere! It was regeneration -- Just like how maggots appear in a closed bottle if the banana was left to rot in it. This is the first time I see a water moss grown in water. It was marvellous.
I had taken a photograph of the water moss as shown in the picture above, however, it was too small to be seen clearly. So I had sketched a drawing of the moss on the uppermost picture of this post.
We planned to grow the moss, we did not throw it away. Yesterday, the children changed the water and wash the pebbles for the terrapins. After that, they put the moss back into the water. But today it was gone. Maybe the terrapins ate it up.
