Leopard tortoise at Jozini Dam!
I came across this beautiful leopard tortoise while exploring the bush around Jozini Dam.

Leopard tortoises are the fourth-largest tortoise species in the world and get their name from the stunning spotted patterns on their shells. Even though they look tough, their shells are incredibly sensitive — they can feel touch and pressure just like we feel through our nails!

These gentle wanderers play an important role in the ecosystem by spreading seeds and helping regulate vegetation. And if you ever find one crossing the road, always let it move in the direction it’s already going — no turning them around and no unnecessary handling.

A slow-and-steady reminder of how incredible the small creatures of the bush truly are.
