Mmmm ... pancakes.

This pancake tortoise could pass for my leopard tortoise, Scooter ... if Scooter were run over by a bus. How do they even fit all their organs in that flat shell?

Here is some good reading material on the species (Malacochersus tornieri):

David Kirkpatrick's article, originally published in Reptile & Amphibian Magazine
Natural History, also by Kirkpatrick
General Care, by Paula Morris
Keeping and Breeding the Pancake Tortoise, by Tortoise Trust
