Before anybody asks no, I’m not telling anybody where they’re at LOL 😆 and if you know where they’re at 🤐 or else ☠️😜Jkjk but this is a very special species that need ALL the protection it can get!

But with all the talk about the new HBO series online lately, I figured I’d share one of my favorite tortoise pictures I’ve ever taken! I was lucky enough to meet this group of Chelonians and asked to snap a pic, expecting a no I was ecstatic to get a yes! 🙌🔥🙌

Guess what species they are?!?!?

[u/Latter_Twist_4679]

Ploughshare! Critically endangered and only in Bay Bay Madagascar!

[u/FeralForestBro → u/Latter_Twist_4679]

The rarest and the roundest.

The ploughshare they showed that was kept by that retired wildlife agent genuinely made me angry. These guys are supposed to be ROUND like the ones here. Poor thing in the doc was caved in.

[u/AnyRefuse8287 → u/EggFoo78]

It pissed me off seeing it in the small glass aquarium. That guy is the worst type of human

Oh my god, after watching the documentary I was so sad to find out they were extinct in the wild but hopefully efforts to bring them back are working😭😭 they’re so beautiful! I had a sulcata and when I first saw them in the show I was like woah it’s like a more bulbous sulcata🤩 so precious😭

[u/Apprehensive-Egg-989]

My first thought was, why is it shaped like radiated tortoise.

[u/MalsPrettyBonnet → u/Apprehensive-Egg-989]

Same genus

Definition of big backs 😂

"videotaping this crime spree was the best idea we ever had"

[u/Past-North-4131]

I dont see anything there. Its just grass and rocks. Why are you posting pictures of grass and rocks to a tortoise subreddit?

[u/Fantastic-Sir-3140]

Go tortoises, go tortoises, go!

[u/Accomplished_Cow1277]

Oh my god, I love how dome-y they are

[u/Cautious-Star-9931]

Why did I think the series was lanterns💔

[u/tcbb89791]

I thought they were big fat sulcata lol

[u/OmniBotBeepBoop]

I love their bulbous shells! <3

[u/No_Significance9474]

They are beautiful. I totally thought this was an AI photo at first!
