Oh no, he's noticed us! He's coming to chomp! We only have checks watch 15 minutes to move a few feet away.

I think my cousin has this type of turtle. His turtle weighs 80-ish pounds! Big boy

Sulcata or African spurred tortoise. Ours is about 65lbs and 8 or 9 years old. I forget, my wife would know better how old.
