The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office had an unexpected encounter earlier today when deputies discovered a lost African Sulcate tortoise attempting to cross SR 20 in Interlachen.
These tortoises, native to the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, are known for their elusive tendencies and their ability to dig out of enclosures, according to wildlife experts at Florida’s Wildest Animal Refuge.
The tortoise is accustomed to human interaction due to reportedly enjoying head pats, making it likely that it belongs to someone who cares for it.
