A tortoise from crossing a phlorescent leech with an ordinary turtle?
I hope they’re happy together...

To Patrick O’Brian fans, this tortoise sounds a lot like Testudo aubreii.

I saw them perform in an oldies show, so long ago now that it could have its own oldies show. :^)

The 20th-century explorers never reached the lowlands northeast of the island, where the animals live today, and as a result, almost 8,000 tortoises correspond to a different lineage to what was previously thought. Now that this lineage will be "protected", its numbers will plummet.
Darwin never sleeps!

That’s ingenious.
For those times when you need to plant a post turtle, but you have no post.
