African Spurred Tortoise
Geochelone sulcata
33.0067, -117.053
Field Notes
Description:
Nearly 80 lb. tortoise with tape on the shell for identification. This species is the "largest tortoise of the African mainland."
Habitat:
Walking down a road in residential area.
Notes:
This tortoise was crossing a road so I pulled over and walked along side it to keep it from entering the road again. Of course I had to take a few photo's with my phone :)
Eventually a car stopped and knew the owner. They drove to the house and the owner came for the tortoise. She said he must have dug under their brand new fence.
