ome rock formations are extremely unique having a close resemblance to animals or part of animal’s anatomy.
Turtle Rock Island
This picture was taken by my friend during our trip to Hundred Islands in Pangasinan, Philippines. We called it “Turtle Rock Island” not because it’s a breeding ground for turtles, but due to the striking similarity of the rock island to a turtle.

On the ‘Hippo’s Yawn’ picture, I actually see an eagle. If you look at the water stains on the inside of the ‘mouth’ you should see it.
