Leopard Tortoise

Description:

Everybody knows Africa's Big Five: Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard and Rhinoceros.
Less people know that there is also Africa's Little Five: Elephant Shrew, Buffalo Weaver, Antlion, Leopard Tortoise and Rhinoceros Beetle.

We found this Leopard Tortoise during a walk in Tsavo West National Park.
For safety reasons, we had a mandatory military escort where ever we went.
