Description
The tortoise house has a collection of this larger species which are amazing and real characters. They no longer have the smaller species of tortoises because in the past during the development of the zoo and the enclosures there have been thefts.. thankfully security has been stepped up and this has now become a thing of the past... some people!.. I doubt if they could get one of these out as they exit through the gift shop!.. unless a woman pretended to be pregnant!.

Extremely pregnant I would think Great capture
wonderful capture...splendid photograph !!!
I have a very soft spot for tortoises, and we had about twelve for the best part of forty years.
Very well tyaken !!
outstanding photograph. there was one here(unknown type) that was huge. it would take four strong men to lift it, but only if it's mouth and legs were secure
LOL! A woman pretending to be pregnant with that under her blouse would present an odd, lumpy appearance, to be sure! I think the turtle is safe from such thievery! :) Great capture and interesting text!
