Image of Leopard Tortoise
Description:
this is a leopard tortoise that was trying to cross a road near the west gate entrance to Kruger. Johnny Wilson told me at the time these guys are in decline because of some foolish information that rubbing them on your body will make one immune to certain diseases. Pretty turtle.
