Hi Patty

I didn’t expect to catch up w/ the tortoise today
Really a slomo after a hazy night

Butte catch up I did and couldn’t resist
An Aldabra on the move!

Now this shot came after what my real hunt will be
While viewing the gazelle exhibit the sign said:
There is a Sulcata tortoise in that pen

I have to love mohs for coming through with the Aldabra, and a fine looking specimen he is (The tortoise, that is) YEAH ! (yahoo)

It looks like he's headed somewhere with a purpose, maybe feeding time ?

I don't think I'd want to get in his way

The sulcata will be smaller, but look somewhat similar.

From what I know, an Aldabra might be 500 lbs, and a sulcata might be 200.

Still impressive, and too big to pick up.

Both the sulcata & the gazelle's are African, so it makes sense to keep them together, like in the wild.

I've never seen an Aldabra in person - maybe some day.......

THANK YOU mohs - made my dreary rainy, full of annoying work day.

Patty

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
