A special friend visited us today. We heard a cracking sound and the dogs were barking. At first we thought that they were playing and I looked at them, all in a sudden, I asked P, what was the thing behind Cherda? Looks like a tortoise. P went to have a look and said, get the camera, it's a tortoise. A real big one. I rushed into the house and got the camera. Passed the cam to P and told him that I am going to get some veggies for it to munch.
The dogs were put inside the house and we started to snap photos, but the batteries did not last very long, chaotic by then, cannot find new rechargeable batt. Sooooo frustrated! We fed the tortoise some water, it seems like it's very thirsty. It drank 4 bowls of water. We measured the tortoise and it's 61cm (only the shell). Later we found out that it is a Mountain Tortoise or Leopard Tortoise and it's the largest among the southern African tortoises. We were so lucky to see one today.
I finished my 8th edition prints today. It's a fruitful day for me. ;)
Sunny, 14 ºC - 26 ºC
