A small African species of tortoise, the pancake tortoise is native to scrublands, savannas, and woodlands in parts of Kenya and Tanzania. The soft, flat shell of this tortoise offers little protection against predators. However, its shape and flexibility allow the tortoise to flee quickly into narrow rock crevices when danger approaches.
