Tale of the Turtle (and its tail)
As mentioned before, there were several statues found in the courtyard at Copan. While some were of creatures, I had never heard or seen before, even though a few of them were, our guide assured us, based on animals in the area, this one needed no explanation. I could see it from both sides. Of course, I do not recall seeing any of these large tortises in the area, but we were not too far from the Pacific Islands where they are well-known inhabitants.
