Home - 2023 - Tortoise time with Betty and Tom

Photographer: Josh Eckels

Reptiles waiting for feeding time Circling Greens in the water The gharial's not so interested in the greens Addressing the crowd Awaiting the tortoises Showing how it's done Five second rule (or maybe five minute rule) Chomp Mmmm Taking a turn On the move Considering the offer Tempting the beast All smiles Tug of war More romaine Feeding frenzy Last bit of the stalk Staring contest A dainty eater Out in the enclosure Back in the barn with the lady tortoises Up close More lettuce Here you go, Chip! Yum The crunchy bit The ladies aren't any neater Maybe some hay too Neck scratches Up in the air Camels! Baboons! Hummingbirds!
