Description

This young tortoise was about the size of the palm of my hand (ca. 10cm). Hopefully, it will survive to become an adult of the third largest mainland tortoise species on Earth. Sadly, an endangered species.

Rainforest around the Maparri River, Kanuku Mountains, Rupununi, Guyana, South America.
