COWBOY

[ALDABRAMAN]

Cowboy is our best breeding male, he is over 600 pounds and over 100+ years old. Just a pleasure to be around, so gentle and seems extremely wise. Today, 02-14-11, was a fantastic day in Naples, Florida. Teperature was in the mid 70's and full sunshine all day. I took many pictures today in preperation for a book project with Ed Pirog, and here are some of Cowboy. Enjoy!

Where was Cowboy before you? I always wonder what stories go along with animals that are so old.

Wow, 100 years old and still got decades left to live...sometimes I wish I was an aldabra. But Cowboy is a real charm! The second pic looks the best; he's basking in his glory!
