African spurred tortoise stands on soil, facing left, with shadows present.
A close up side view of an African spurred tortoise with its head and body orientated and facing toward the left. The tortoise is standing on an area of soil, rocks, dried leaves, and tiny green colored plants. The background of the view is heavily blurred, though the image is clearly during the day as light shines across the top of the tortoise's head and its partially visible shell. Shadows are present and dark under the partially visible front legs of the tortoise. A shadow is cast from the right front leg of the tortoise and descends from it toward the bottom right of the view onto the left front leg.
