Herman Soaks Up the Sun #20432239
Description
Herman, a male African Spurred Tortoise (Geochelone sulcata), is 36 pounds at just 11 years old. A spot in the middle of a public foot bridge makes an ideal place to pause for a moment and soak in the warm sun. Native to sub-Saharan Africa, Sulcata tortoises are popular pets in the United States, with a lifespan in captivity of up to 150 years, and a potential to grow up to 200 pounds.
