The Peruvian Walking Sea Turtle were presumably re-discovered by Chinese zoologist Ping Long-Wang in 1963 along the coasts of Peru. Ping noted the peculiar way in which these turtles walked on land, much unlike other sea turtles in the oceans.
The Peruvian Walking Sea Turtle's have a declining population, and biologists assume that the species have been hunted to near extinction for their meat. The current predicted population is 234 as of 2009, and is on a continued decline.
The species is only found in Peru, and is hunted illegally by Japanese fisherman and hunters today, despite the governmental protection given to the species.
Scientists predict that this rare species will be eradicated by 2015.
The fastest recorded speed of the Peruvian Walking Sea Turtle is 15 k/m on land.
Sightings of these animals are extremely rare. Aside from those in captivity, the last recorded sighting was in 2007. This may be because they are very hard to pick out from ordinary sea turtles, and they are extremely rare on land.
Peruvian Walking Sea Turtle's come in various colors. Green on the females for camouflage. Purple on the males to attract other females. The brighter the purple, the more attention from females.
There is a Peruvian Walking Sea Turtle in Central Park Zoo in New York, New York, USA.
Easily the best town out of the southern shore points. From the younger crowd at 40th and Landis to the families down at the Inlet, sea isle offers something for everyone. The beach is beautiful and large enough for large groups and recreational activities, not to mention you'll never find sea isle as crowded as ocean city or wildwood, nor is it as boring and pretentious as avalon or stone harbor. The boardwalk isn't cluttered with run down stores or cheap amusements, nor will someone try to call you in for a noise violation at 9pm on memorial day weekend. In fact, your neighbors will probably try and join in on the party. Also, sea isle offers the best party and bar scene of all the shores. The houses from 30th-50th street are mostly inhabited by an array of young men and women in their early to late 20s. The few blocks from 43rd to 38th crossing with Landis and Pleasure are lined with bars and 24 hour eateries, giving the college age people the run of the place all throughout the night. Towards either end of the island, the atmosphere is more quiet and family oriented, giving them independence from the young crowd around the bars.

A euphemism for taking a dump. Much in the vein of 'taking the Browns to the Super Bowl' and 'taking one's talents to South Beach.'
Dude, I just ate Taco Bell, now I feel like burying Bin Laden at sea.
