    • Please note #7 on General rules: "Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project." Jkadavoor (talk) 07:28, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

•  Question This is a zoo animal. Is it sure that it cannot be identified? I guess the zoo might have some information about the species, doesn't it? --Ximonic (talk) 10:06, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

•  Support Great focus on the eye. Big aperture is used to grab maximum details of the eye; my guess. So proper caption and file-name may be 'Turtle Eye';. Jkadavoor (talk) 06:03, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
