The image is a close-up of a turtle's head and neck. The turtle is resting on a sandy ground with small rocks scattered around. The head of the turtle is facing towards the right side of the image, with its head slightly tilted upwards. The shell of the tortoise is dark grey with a red stripe running down the center of its head. The tortoise's eyes are green and its mouth is slightly open, as if it is looking directly at the camera. Its claws are visible on the left side of its body.
