Testudo graeca
large foot long tortoise
gardens around the Temple of Hephaestos, Agora of Athens, Acropolis base, seminatural
There was a population of these tortoises there, feeding on LAWN! and running around, yep, pretty fast for tortoises, in the more natural needle covered grounds
Hi Ingrid3! This tortoise is in the genus Testudo. Do you by any chance have have a picture of the back and the tail?
