Cedar Lakes Adventure Shoot-off - Tortise Power
🐢🐢 Tortise Power 🐢🐢
Cedar Lakes - Dunnellon, Florida USA
I am entitling this a shoot-off adventure because there were just too many photos to feature in one of the other parts to the adventure series and it really doesn't follow the full adventure theme.
This is a tortise they have on the grounds. I do believe they said he was about 20 years or so old. Tortises can live a very long time. Infact they can live to over 100+ years and very much longer than that given the right environment.
Tortises are different than Turtles. Turtles can swim Tortises can not! So let's begin the adventure!
This is Timmy! Timmy loves to be fed. He was out in his enclosure waiting on us to feed him.
"Hey guys! Whatcha got for me?" He races over. They are not as slow as people think.
"Yum! This is my favorite!" Yes Timmy the Tortise talks! (ok maybe not but can we just pretend he does?)
And he scores! Thanks to @awesomemike being the brave soul he is to risk his finger being eaten too!
These two are starting to become great buddies!
Although I love this guy, he wanted me to drop his food on the ground for him. I guess he liked @awesomemike more...
Look at that Tortis smile. Ok, so I don't know if they smile because they are happy or not but I am going to say he is pretty happy!
ALL PHOTOS WERE TAKEN BY ME ON MY NIKON D3400.

They're not like the other tortoise that snaps at your fingers, are they?
No this is not a snapping one.. but it can if provoked bite or if it thinks your fingers are food.. most of them are very docile creatures.
What a beautiful color Tortises is that the orginal color of the shell or did someone paint it like that i have never seen that color shell :)
Original color!!! Its illegal to paint on animals...
So beautiful :)
You got such great shots of him
Have a good week
Superb quality photos, what an amazing - and massive - Tortoise. It looks like @awesomemike has found his true calling in life - leading Tortoise's to camera...although did I hear you say the Tortoise beat him to the far side of the paddock? 😜
