I shot an endangered tortise!

With my Sony F-828! LOL! In fact, my zoom was 200mm, it was f/4 at 1/250 sec, and ISO 64. I left the background in the shot, so you can tell it is living under my tool shed in our back yard.

That is a gopher tortoise isn't it? I saw one of those last August in Kings Bay, GA last year where my sister lives. It was just walking down her street. Derek

Yes, it is. I live in the adjacent town of Kingsland. This tortise wandered into our yard, and decided to burrow under our tool shed. The tortise stayed under the tool shed for 5 months without food or water. It came out only a few days ago.
