Great capture. I did not know they were so small.

Thanks for all your comments...

I don't know if it's African or not, it lives in South-East Turkey, near the Mediterranean.

That is the cutiest little turtle I've ever seen! Great shot of it! I'd guess he is in his 1st year, but I'm no expert on them by far. Cool shot! Don

I've never seen one like this. How fascinating ith all the great detail and your fingers for size. I don't care what it is - though Karen's input sure taught me something I never knew. Well done. It's fantastic. Vicki

Incredible image with your fingers giving scale to this marvelous living being. I know that they count the rings on the carapice, so this one must only be 1-2 years old. The shell still has a pebbly texture. Is this an African tortoise? Well done.

Can't help with the age bit, but I can say that this is a great photo!
