They look different to each other, is the bottom one a young one?

Yes, a typical young Chersina angulata

Beautiful. I always think the young ones look similar to young Marginated's.

Thank you Bindi for putting these photos up for me

Stunning tortoises.

I love seeing tortoises in their natural habitat and wanted to share my friend's photos. They had a great time ... a holiday of a lifetime. Hopefully they have more tortoise photos ...

How common are these? Are there many in South Africa?

in local populations, they can achieve very high density. You may remember, in the David Attenborough series "Life in Cold blood", the sequence of Angulate, or Bowsprit Tortoises on the island off the South African coast? It showed, these animals in time lapse interacting in a huge local population.
