I worked on that one. We actually had Four Aldabras in that pen. The one that actually did the biting was an animatronic head. Apparently, they didn't use the rest of the footage with the actual live tortoises. Bummer. That happens all the time. We only filmed this about three weeks ago.

Did a Sonic commercial with my adult sulcatas too. Haven't seen that one yet...
