Cape May Zoo

[Matthew Colella]

I posted a similar thread in the sulcata forum but anyway, I went to the Cape May Zoo today and found they had a herd of juvenile Aldabra torts with a slightly larger juvenile Galapagos tortoise tagging along. They came up to me and ate out of my hand.

It was so cute how they moved together. The aldabras followed the galapogas into the shallow pool of water. Too bad the sulcata wasn't takin care of as good as these guys

The sully was kept in a decent sized pen, bug he kept running around his perimeter. The only piece of vegetation was a leafless tree. I just wanted to jump the fence and give him proper care

He had a really long neck and looked pretty at home
