Not often you catch a tortoise having a drink at the dam! Leopard Tortoises, although able to survive harsh dry conditions, still require the essence of life...water! Water is stored in the tortoises bursa which is a small sac-like compartment. This additional storage allows the tortoise to go without water for great lengths of time. A key point to remember...never pick up a tortoise! As a defense mechanism they will release the moisture in their bursa for a 'quick' escape. If this happens in the dry season, this could cause the tortoise to dehydrate. Get in touch to get involved! 🐾 #leopardtortoise #thirsty #fillthatbursa #bringontherain #morerainplease #ulwazi @thandasafari
How delicate is this elephant plucking up his lunch! With over 40,000 muscles in the trunk, elephants are the only mammal that sport such an extremity. Elephant trunks are used to collect food, take up water (to be sprayed back into the mouth or over the body) collect dust for dust bathing and to communicate with fellow herd members. Monitoring elephants is an important part of the Ulwazi programme 🐘 Get in touch to get involved! 🐾 #elephant #elephantlunch #eatinggrass #elephanttrunk #ulwazi @thandasafari
