Gopherus polyphemus
This is Penelope, my pet tortoise. She feeds on fruit only. She is around 24 cm in length. She is now, 17 years old.
Most tortoises live on land, but some live in fresh water. They live in environments such as deserts, semi-arid areas, lakes, lagoons, swamps, tropical forests and of course gardens.
