Wayside Giant (Manouria emys emys)

Driving near a forest reserve looking for birds I came across this fella on the roadside! In fact too near the road for his own health! So I picked him up and took him further into the thick undergrowth. A friend took our photo and of course I took some photos of him too before waving him Goodbye!
