I'm much more curious to know if the turtle recognize you.  And by the way, how old is he/she?

Richard, thanks for stopping by.  Actually, this photo was taken for a business feature I was writing for a local Gannett newspaper and I hadn't met Tiny previously.  I did learn that Tiny was very fond of lettuce--the shop owner said he (or maybe she --I don't recall having asked) ate a head per day.  As for age, all I can tell you is that tortoises generally have a life span similar to humans but there are reliable reports of specimens having lived more than 150 years.
