Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
What's for breakfast? A pancake tortoise! This species is named for its unusual shell, which is indeed as flat as a pancake. Even more interesting is the fact that, while most other turtles have fairly thick, rigid shells, the pancake tortoise's shell is exceptionally thin, and the underlying bone has openings which allows the shell to be quite light and flexible.
