Sometimes it's better to be cold-blooded

It’s been maddeningly hot in Cape Town for the last three days. Temperatures have exceeded 35°C – and in fact, right now it’s 37°C in my neighbourhood! Take a look at our page the lists real-time weather conditions.

I wonder how this tortoise feels about being out in the sun, and if it’s perhaps preferable to be cold-blooded on days like this.

    They are adorable. Maybe they are thinking about synchronized swimming in their future?

    oops, sorry, this comment was meant for the goslings!
    He is not quite as adorable!!

    Lol, while the goslings are adorable, I’d say Geppetto’s pretty adorable too – albeit in a hard, rough, and scaly kind of way. ;)
