The munchies

Last year I was awed by the efficiency of the dung beetles. I've since learned that even more efficient are the poo-eating tortoises that lope around the forest. When Eddie was here he said one would eagerly ‘rush’ over to where he was squatting even before he had finished taking care of business. The tortoises are about the size of a medicine ball and seem fairly indestructible. So it was a surprise to come across a couple carapaces that had been cracked open and devoured by a Jaguar.
