Here's a cool pic of a leopard tortoise that one of our PH's captured the other day. They are a member of Africa's "Little 5". Can you name the other 4?

Congratulations on the correct answers! However, I think you have an unfair local advantage.. ;)
 
My parents would collect them as pets off the side of the road in their younger years. Leopard tortoises have unfortunately come under intense threat from poaching. Seems nothing in Africa is sacred to those who want to make a quick buck.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
