[pleistocene-pride]

The pancake tortoise is a species of flat-shelled tortoise in the family Testudinidae which is native to the African nations of Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Zambia where it tends to inhabit scrublands, woodlands, and grasslands with prominent hills and rocky outcrops up to 6,000ft (1800m) in elevation. They are a social species which live in colonies clustered around a chosen rock face or series of caverns and crevices where they rest during the night and the heat of the day emerging during the morning, afternoon, and evening to search for water and food such as fruits, grasses, leaves, and other vegetation. Pancake tortoises are preyed upon by mongooses, wild dogs, honey badgers, and birds of prey. These tortoises are fast and agile climbers and its flat surprisingly flexible shell allows the pancake tortoise to crawl into narrow rock crevices to avoid potential predators. Reaching around 5 to 7 inches in length and around a pound (.45kg) in weight, the Pancake tortoise is one of the oddest and most interesting chelonians. As previously mentioned they have an unusually thin, flat, and flexible shell with a highly ossified lump at the rear. The carapace is brown with a variable pattern of radiating dark lines on each scute which helps to camouflage the tortoise. The plastron is pale yellow with dark brown seams and light yellow rays, and the head, limbs and tail are yellow-brown. The breeding season occurs throughout January and February during which time males will compete for females. The nesting season occurs during july and august during which time a mother lay eggs of about 2 inches in length, in a nest cavity she has built in loose sandy soil. She will lay one egg, and then after 4 - 8 weeks she may lay another one, and then perhaps another. After a 4 to 6 month incubation the young hatch. Under ideal conditions a pancake tortoise may live upwards of 35 years.

The changing landscape as we drove to Sessriem was amazing from flat savannah then suddenly over the hill to vast mountains to sand dunes seeping through the mountains.

Lots more wildlife, Savannah Baboons, Gemsbok, Vultures, Yellow Mongoose, Karoo Korhaan (bird), Black Faced Impala, South African Ground Squirrel, Dassie Rat, Kudu, skinks, Ostriches, Jackal, the Endangered Hartmann's Mountain Zebra, Wildebeest - the list is expanding every day.

Stopped in at the bakery at Solitaire in the middle of nowhere for the famous apple pie.

Explored a ‘small’ sand dune and Jarod got to close to a Gemsbok 🙄. A dry canyon was quite spectacular to walk along. It obviously floods up high with large tree branches lodged in crevices. A small pool of water but the rest dry.

Our campsite at Sessriem was inside a stone circle low wall. We needed the campfire as the wind was freezing. Jarod & Max went exploring and saw the Jackals up close. Off to bed early to stay warm but also an early start to head to Dune 45.
