Ich habe schon immer sehr gern Geschichten mit Walen und Delfinen in Interaktion mit Menschen gelesen – Fiktionen, Dokumentation oder beruhend auf wahren Begebenheiten. Und ich lieb sie alle.

✨ Meeresschildkröten-Taxi ✨

Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich ein total cooles Video gesehen, wo ein Seestern von einer Meeresschildkröte umher getragen wird. Leider finde ich es nicht mehr. Also hab ich es selbst gemalt :)
