Spur-thighed tortoise

Native to the arid regions of West Africa, the spiny tortoise is the third largest species of land tortoise in the world. It owes its name to the deep grooves that adorn its scales, creating a veritable map on its shell.

Impressive and majestic, this turtle evokes both the tranquil slowness of desert landscapes and the legendary longevity of these reptiles. The meticulous naturalization work faithfully respects the anatomy, volumes, and characteristic posture of the animal, giving it a striking presence in the space.
