Encountered a giant turtle roaming my neighborhood today while walking my dog in Los Angeles by Correct_Cockroach_15
darkeraqua on October 15, 2024 6:16 am From what I’ve gathered from Reddit, this appears to be a very well nourished tortoise. Something about the mild pyramiding on the shell. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Heroic-Forger on October 15, 2024 7:01 am Why is its shell folded upward like that though? Is that unhealthy?
lilmanfromtheD on October 15, 2024 7:14 am Did you give him a hand to cross the road, or call an animal place to put him back some where safe?

That guy looks old enough to know Junipero Serra.
