PLEASE REFER TO THE BROKER COMMENTARY PAGE FOR UPDATES!! I asked AI; “How much can a turtle see with its head pulled into its shell?” I do not know what pronoun to use when referring to AI but I got this answer;“When a turtle retracts its head into its shell, its field of vision is significantly reduced, but not completely obstructed, as the eyes are still able to move and compensate for the obstructed view. Here’s a more detailed explanation: Reduced Peripheral Vision: Pulling the head into the shell blocks the turtle’s peripheral vision, which is typical of many lower vertebrates. Eye Muscle Adaptation: Some turtles have developed a way to compensate for this obstructed view by using their eye muscles differently, allowing them to view the world both laterally and forward. Superior Oblique Muscle: A nerve that moves one of the pond turtle’s eye muscles, the superior oblique muscle, is active when the turtle moves its head from side to side, suggesting a role in compensating for the obstructed view.” I took that to mean that we can see quite a little without our necks being stuck out. Here is more of my turtle view: DOGE is a necessary evil that will produce pain….
