Hi Drina: he was extremely placid but a bit wary of us. Given that they were hunted to near extinction the fact that they tolerate us at all is nothing short of amazing. But then again, they move so slowly that there is little other choice. Reply

Wooahh, he is very big! Was he placid or did you stay well clear? 🙂

What did that tortoise make of Nancy? – he’s not giving much away.
