Lab Totem

•  Scherpzinnige schildpad – Perspicuous turtle

The turtle can, despite its heavy armor, cover considerable distances (from the VIB to the CMGG and back). He is hardened, persevering and he can cope with a lot. The turtle is playful, but he spends most of the day at rest. When he takes action, however, he is an avid opponent. The turtle is intelligent and has a good memory. He is perceptive because of his good vision and sense of smell.

Characteristics: good memory, intelligent, quiet, sharp, playful, persistent
