Mountain Tortoise (Geochelone pardalis)

[BillN_33]

Big creatures - They are large tortoises (largest species in South Africa) that can weigh over 30kg and measure up to 60cm in length

Awesome pic, well taken
I have a real fondness of tortoise's they're so unchanged and just plod through life in a simple way.

Wouldn't want to pick that fella up though at 30kg

Love the detail and texture on the shell!
