I was just thinking about it and it’s honestly so silly that donnie’s dad is so affectionate with him. For context, most reptiles including what turtles i could find info on, are R-selected species, which in ecology means that the species strategy for reproduction is essentially focused on creating as much offspring as quickly as possible, with little to no parental care involved. But like- honestly i think that speaks more to how built different donnie’s dad is even before the mutagen. I mean bro can somehow properly use a screwdriver with no effort (if that last ask response where we see him holding one while a single screw falls off the vent in the background is anything to go by), ofc he has the capacity to both recognize and show a sense of affection towards his offspring even without instincts prompting him promoting him to do so. You could even say he’s a smart cookie, who doesn’t care to abide by the social norms of his species. Like father like son, indeed. 🥳
