MEET "ALPHA"

[ALDABRAMAN]

This is our new addition to our aldabra breeding program, ALPHA! He was just purchased from a zoo here in Florida and is adjusting just fine at our program. He is 62" long, 38" across, and per the zoo keeper he was around 680 pounds last year when last checked by the vet. He was imported in 1935. He is also very easy going and friendly. He did great during his transport and had a great first day!
