Thought I'd share this shot...kinda cool! And a nice exhibit, too!

Interesting, another picture of these same tortoises has been floating around the internet for awhile. Nice to see a different shot.

How cute they are...

 

[Nay]

Could you really let them be together? Or would they get hurt?

That's a cool pic of mom,dad and little ones thanks for sharing

I'm sure it was staged...and you all know how I feel about that! On the other hand...perhaps sulcata on the other side of the pond do travel in herds

...here she comes! Watch it...hurry and get the picture already!


...Look out! She's going to crush them. Snap the picture!

The UK has a very high average precipitation, so the air has a high water content because of evaporation.
