Not quite

I have heard my peers sometimes refer to green turtles as "pinheads." Something about that just struck me the wrong way, and I didn't figure it out until I looked at this photo of a green turtle from French Guiana. Sure, she doesn't have the concrete-block sized noggin that loggerheads have, but she is no Zippy the Pinhead! In fact, the shape and size of her head is rather pleasing. Now, if you want to talk about the uncouth behavior of leatherbacks, that is another story...
