Field Notes

Description:

An Eastern Hermann's male tortoise, spotted while he was trying to cross the road, near Athamanio village, Epirus region, Greece. We stopped the car, picked him up, and helped him to go to the other side of the road. The markings on his carapace, indicate that he had a minor road accident before, but he healed effectively...
