Lion v tortoise

[kingskettle]

This lion tried to crack open the tortoise shell but failed! I often read that wild tortoises never suffer from pyramiding and pet tortoises suffer from this due to their owners giving them wrong food/living conditions but the tortoise here obviously has some pyramiding and he's wild (I'd be a bit wild too if a lion had just tried to terminate me! )

Very cool pictures! Did you take them? Seems like there are chewing incidents in the wild also

Living conditions in the wild are rarely perfect, but the pyramiding doesn't seem severe to me. Maybe he didn't have a humid enough hide

Here at my place, I worry more about the pocket sized, carnivorous critters than the motorcycle sized, carnivores out and about. But that's just me…
