Leopard tortoise, Northern Serengeti

This one likely is quite young, as it is quite small. They can become quite old, 40 to 50 years.

  This one was found near our accommodation, which was surrounded by some bushes. There is a river close by. Posted 11 years ago

The Leopard tortoise

The Leopard tortoise is a large and attractively marked tortoise found in the savannas of Eastern and Southern Africa, from Sudan to the southern Cape. It is the only member of the genus "Stigmochelys", but in the past it was commonly placed in "Geochelone" instead.
