My thoughts exactly. Since tortoises rely heavily on their sense of smell, I was also wonder how that would be affected long term. Feel so sorry for that keeper and the tort.OMG! that was a shock to see. It was probably an abscess that hardened, ripened and fell off. Hopefully this baby can recover and it grows back in.
Indeed it doesn't. Supposedly this keeper is taking it to a vet. Hoping she will provide an update afterwards. Breaks my heart seeing this.So sad. The head doesn't look very healthy either.
I saw this in one of the FB pages I follow. Anyone ever come across this before???
