The picture of the tortoise's face, the first picture? That's an Aldabra tortoise. The galapagos tortoise's eyes are in line with his nostrils, while the Aldab's nostrils are below the eyes.
In fact, looking at the pictures again, I see that the one whose neck is being stroked is also an Aldabra.
You are so lucky to be able to care for these giants. Wonderful creatures!
Really, I think the Aldabras are much cuter and friendlier looking. The Galops seem to almost always have goop in the corners of their eyes, ick and not as cute, more grumpy looking.I think the Galop has a much prettier face. The pictures Steven shows above are of a Galop we saw this past week-end at the Triple T Ranch.
Good response!
Now, you know I'm not talking about your little cutie. But, when he gets bigger, I don't want to see any eye goop
