Driving around in Greece we had seen already quite a lot of tortoises along the road. But this was the first one being so friendly to pose for the camera. Although I’m not sure I suppose it is (must be) a Greek tortoise, also known as common tortoise; one of five species of Mediterranean tortoises.
Depending on the subspecies, Greek tortoises will grow to between 11 and 20 centimeters. The Greek tortoise is a very long-lived animal, achieving a lifespan of upwards of more than 100 years, but in the wild, many do not live past the age of 20, due to predation and other factors.

Jaap van 't Veen club has replied to ThorstenThank you for the note, Jaap.
Not a subject we see very often on Ipernity..............so it's great to see this one. It looks quite happy posing for you to take a photo. Nicely composed and taken in beautiful sunshine!
Mooie opname Jaap.
Jaap van 't Veen club has replied to Soeradjoen (limited… clubVery nice photo, and you did well to spot him.
However, being a tortoise, I don't suppose he could run away so quickly!!
Best Wishes
Peter
Jaap van 't Veen club has replied to trester88 clubBEST sighting: scuba diving, Steve and I have seen lots of sea turtles. They can be quite enormous...one day we were diving and a huge sea turtle swam by and turned its head to look me in the eye...an incredible experience. I adore them so much.
Regards TOZ.
All the best
