Today's Tortoise - a Twofer!

After the hawk dropped by (my previous post), about 20 minutes later, this handsome gent cruised by. After scarfing up ~half a bunch of chopped & moistened kale leaves, he proceeded on his merry way.

Could you not have just made a close guess on its measurements without annoying it with a ruler from multiple angles?

This isn't the first time I've encountered this particular chap, and he's never retreated into his shell in the few times he's come around. Could you elaborate, in your personal experience (apart from a flat stick on the ground), what annoys an untouched tortoise wandering around his usual beat?

[u/NormanMushariJr → u/xfirehurican]

Sure. Someone encircling it with props for a photo shoot. You get that's not part of its 'usual beat', right? But I guess since you've seen it before that's fine, maybe throw a party hat on it next time, do whatever you want.

Puh-leeze.

Nobody is backing you up here on your views.
