Marginated Tortoise Hatchling

I think this is a great picture of a new-hatched tortoise, showing how much they grow and mature; it's also extremely cute. My sole reservation is that it's not a natural setting, but I think the plain blue background avoids distracting from the subject matter. Photo by Richard Mayer, who obviously has some pets.

  • Would support if natural setting, but as cute as he is, this little guy's setting detracts in a major way. Does remind me of a naughty riddle about turtles on their backs, though. Denni 23:43, 2004 Dec 4 (UTC)

  • Support. This picture makes a great illustration for both Marginated Tortoise and an article about baby animals. Probably wouldn't make a good illustration for animals in their natural habitat Lorax 00:51, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose because IMO it doesn't add significantly to the article. - [[User:Bevo|Bevo]] 00:08, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
