Evan's fascination with turtles has been fulfilled! He got up close and personal and even he was intrigued with how big they are, and how docile. Never one to be close enough, he found another way to really get inside their head, as it were...
Evan is a tall 5'9" and as you can see, he fits pretty nicely into this tortoise shell, though the getting out was worth watching! They really are huge, and did I say docile?
It appears that these two are having a difference of opinion, with the more aggressive one on the right eventually backing down the smaller model on the left.
This saddle-backed tortoise has adapted to a different diet of Opuntia cactus that grow high above the ground and must be reached by extending one's neck. I think I'm beginning to get the idea of where Charles Darwin is coming from.
