Le Village des Tortues


The village is actually a reserve for injured tortoises and now breds them for increasing the numbers in other parts of Senegal. It is the home of giant African spurred tortoises, the largest species of continental tortoises on earth.  I was surprised at how interesting the park was.


The strangler tree! 


I loved this no smoking sign. The tortoises is saying, 
"come out right now, I know what you are doing in there" 

This tortoises has these bumps because previous malnutrition.  
It has improved since it was brought into the village.
