This is Precious. She is a pure adult West Santa Cruz Giant Tortoise Chelonoidis porteri. She is the sweetest tortoise. As soon as she saw me taking this picture this morning, she immediately walked over to me and nudged my hand to get me to pet her.
Precious .... that's the word that comes to mind. A truly Amazing animal, with an amazing person. Thank You for sharing - even if there is jealousy in all our responses.
