Turtle Thursday: Tama Chan (2008)

Say hello to Tama Chan. She's a Red Footed Tortoise. Red Foots are indigenous to South America, specifically Brazil, which is precisely where she resides. She is the pet of my friend Maira. The reptile is allowed to roam all over the home and property. In a town where homeless people frequently make her brethren dinner, Tama Chan lives a pretty good life of chewing up vegetation and playing with the kittens. It certainly sounds better than working on tax returns for twelve hours a day seven days a week!
