[Console | Video]
This is ridiculous!
[There is a small boy scowling up into the console's video feed with a highly offended expression on his face. Not that it was easy to see that much. Even standing on a stool he is barely tall enough to reach the console.]
There can't be a turtle that big. If it was real it would be completely violating the square-cube law. Even presuming that it was possible for a turtle to grow this big, a biological creature cannot scale up like this. The larger an animal grows, the less its proportional muscle strength. According to that law, this turtle shouldn't even be able to move and there should be severe problems with its cardiovascular and respiratory functions. Even if we factor in the exception for buoyancy in sea creatures, this is still far too big. How is it possible for this to exist?
[Belatedly, he realizes that had been just a tiny bit advanced for an ordinary seven-year-old. He hastily pastes on a bright childish smile.]
I saw a program about it on television once! It was really interesting.

Mmm, an elementary school detective. I help out Uncle and the police at home, and we have a detective club at school.

[He has no experience of school before the year he's in currently, so he's just going to accept that's a thing. Maybe ALL schools did them? He's missed out on so much.]
Well, good luck in your detective work. Maybe you'll figure something out the rest of us haven't yet.
