Pancake Tortoises have a fairly flat shell structure (hence the name). They like to go in rock crevices and enjoy the radiating heat. This buddy here seems to go "Awww yeah. Waffle iron mode, babyyy." (lemmy.world)

Bonus speculative factoids:

  • A pancake tortoise hatchling is called a Morsel
  • A pancake tortoise adult is called a Flapjack
  • A pancake tortoise group is called a Stack

I have no way of verifying this, of course. English language doesn't have a governing body, after all.
