Turtle Tower Time

Dubai’s elite has discovered a new, although slow-moving, status symbol. Forget the big cats; turtles are the new trend! The city’s elite are embracing the art of ‘turtle stacking.’ Smiling at the camera, our white-robed gentleman demonstrates this fascinating phenomenon by holding the topmost reptile.

What’s all this stacking about, you ask? Well, these marine reptiles naturally climb atop one another to bask in the warmth of the sun. But this fellow likely built this tower himself, bringing a whole different meaning to “standing tall.” Mind you that these endangered critters aren’t toys, so let’s hope this trend doesn’t gain traction.
