150 years and still going strong

Cape nature has brought about 140 orphaned and abused tortoises to our estate. Hoping that they have a good life here and can live in freedom. Most are all sizes of leopard tortoises and we have about 20 of these big fellows running around. Last week this one found it's way into our olive grove and seems to like it here.
What an impressive creature!!!

@domenicododaro Not quite sure about the size Domenico, but at least 50-60cm. The poor thing has a big hole drilled through it's shell and was found chained to a balcony. So cruel.
