Artist's notes:
 The
African Spurred Tortoise line art was completed in 2004
and the color added digitally in 2007. These torts are HUGE.
I often visit the Wildlife World Zoo in Arizona and I always
enjoy seeing these juggernauts.

Information about the African Spurred
Tortoise:
The African Spurred Tortoise is the largest of the mainland
tortoises. These reptiles inhabits the southern edge of
the Sahara desert in north Africa. They can grow to be over
3 feet long and weigh well over 100 pounds. They have growth
rings on the scutes that are strongly marked with age. Tortoises
are important to deserts because their burrows provide shelter
for other animals. Although they grow to be very large,
sulcatas are often kept as pets.
