A cataract is a clouding of the lens in your eye and normally occurs as part of the ageing process. When you develop a cataract, light is unable to pass directly through your lens to the retina, resulting in blurred vision. Cataracts are removed by surgery.
Smallest Size of Turtle Species. The prize for the smallest turtle species in the world goes to the speckled padloper tortoise (Homopus signatus). This tiny terrestrial turtle, also known as the speckled cape tortoise, travels along narrow trails and pathways in Namaqualand, South Africa. In fact, the term âpadloperâ means trail walker.
They are all part of the reptile family. There are more than 250 types of turtles-the smallest is the Mud Turtle, which grows to about 4 inches (10cm) long and the largest is the Leatherback, which grows to about 79 inches (200cm). The Green Sea Turtle's legs are shaped like flippers. Green sea turtles are found in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans.
