Leopard Tortoise

Leopard Tortoise... the most common Tortoise is this area. It is also the largest and can live up to 75 years. Although their shell acts as protective body armour they are often prayed on by predators like Lions, Leopards and Hyenas. Interesting fact...they have a water storing device called a bursa sac, where they can store water during dry times.
