My brain goes all mushy and mellow when it notices that I'm apparently in proximity of a slower kind of a fellow. 🐢

I have a pic like this from a sulcata tortoise! She was just wandering around my neighborhood one afternoon, had apparently escaped her enclosure.
I had it set as my desktop at one point. One of my coworkers at the time, who was few screws short of osha standards, was staring at one day when I came back to my desk.
She goes, “Is that the Balkans?”
This happened over a decade ago & I still have no idea where that came from…
