When: November 29, 2020

You know we've been stepping out of our comfort zones when it comes to photographing animals; here's another one you haven't seen from us before
Species: African Spurred or Sulcata Tortoise (Sporenschildpad)
Latin name: Centrochelys Sulcata
Originates from the edge of the Sahara desert in Africa.
Current status: Endangered
Did you know:
…The African Spurred Tortoise is the third-largest species of Tortoise in the world, but the largest of mainland Tortoises.
…The name “Sulcata” stems from the Latin word meaning “furrow”, referring to the furrows on its scales.

I have large tortoises in the lake by my house. They simply sit on the rocks, sunning themselves.
You have to tell me, what comfort zone you stepped out of for this?
