A giant tortoise sees Keith and raises his head high to investigate.
Javier, our guide, says that he's very used to human company, and this
his way of showing curiosity. However, he also said that this
is how two males "challenge" one another for land or a mate: by craning
their necks higher and higher, until the other one gives. (How
impressively non-violent.) Keith opted not to take up the challenge.
