The ectotherms do a lot of strange things for thermoregulation.

Bonus speculative factoids:

  • A pancake tortoise hatchling is called a Morsel
  • A pancake tortoise adult is called a Flapjack
  • A pancake tortoise group is called a Stack

I have no way of verifying this, of course. English language doesn't have a governing body, after all.
