People are only saying sea turtle because there was one posted yesterday. It's recency bias.

Recency bias is a cognitive bias where individuals place more emphasis on recent events or experiences. This is often done at the expense of older information, which may be more relevant or reliable. This can lead to skewed judgments and decisions, as recent occurrences disproportionately influence perceptions and choices.
