All hail our new baby leopard tortoise overlord

The Denver Zoo has hatched its first-ever leopard tortoise. A baby leopard tortoise is a wonderful thing. That was mine as a baby, pictured at left. Though I can't help but wonder why the overabundant supply of leopard tortoises in the pet trade just wasn't enough for the zoo ... but like I said, a baby leopard tortoise is a wonderful thing.
