Her name is Shelly

 

 

 

She’s a Sulcata Tortoise (African Spurred Tortoise).  Endemic to the transition zone at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert in North Africa.

 

A rescue, housed at the birding and nature center on South Padre Island.  They have several of them there.  They’re solitary animals, so they keep them separated.
