The veterinarians Franck Bonin and Stéphane Gagno of the Tortoise Village of Carnoules in the Var department are reintroducing into its original environment a Hermann's tortoise they have cared for within the SOPTOM (Station for the Observation and Protection of Tortoises and their Environments). On the reptile's shell, traces of resin distinctly testify to the repair of fragments of scales or cracks typical of an initial wound attributable to the bite of a stray dog.
