This is kind of related to the other tortoise farm post only it is more exotic. These are the kinds of places and the thing some of us only dream of doing.
As far as tortoises go the 2 main species are Aldabras and Radiateds.
I'll start with Mauritius... This is La Vanille Crocodile park... home to over 100 adult Aldabra Tortoises.
They produce a good number of babies every year.
The facility is open to the public but it is not local by any means.
The owner of the park thought to expand and put together this place in Reunion which is an island near Mauritius. This is a natural canyon. The front is walled off. The tortoises have the run of the entire canyon.
How would you like to have the opportunity to take care of these animals in this place?
This guy is over 500 pounds...
This is my favorite and least favorite part.
This operation is producing hundreds of these... and can't move them. Most are second generation.
My buddy, Jim, was kind enough to share these photos.
The numbers at which these animals are produced is mind boggling.
They have the same free range as the Aldabras (not together).
Again... They are produced in massive numbers.
There are a few generations that have been produced.
These islands are one of the places most of us can only dream of (this is actually the Seychells... another post)
Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
