I know this is not the correct group to post this to. But I couldn't resist sharing these photos.
This Leopard tortoise is living in my girl friends daughters backyard in Ethiopia.

How lucky is that!!! I would love to live someplace where you can see turtles and tortoises in nature.

It is so ironic because Daphne is a law student at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. She is in Ethiopia doing a fellowship at the University. She is a prim and proper city girl and doesn't like to get dirty. She knows that I have Kendall (Sulcata) and that I love all wildlife and nature. She saw the tortoise in her backyard and sent me pictures and asked if I would like her to observe its behavior and send pictures and videos. She is a very nice young woman.

This is fantastic! Ask her what it eats, where it sleeps, what the day and night time high and low temps are.

More pics are always appreciated too.
