@chard The tortoise won the race. The hare was goofing off somewhere.

Lovely. Was he just walking in the wild? We used to have a little tortoise living in our garden in SA. The kids loved it! :)

I have a soft spot for tortoises! Have had many California Desert Tortoises (rescued ones that went on to have babies), and find it interesting to see how different the shell is, bot the face & leg, not at all different.
