Description
Watch out! Our giant Aldabra tortoise gave us a nice shell print in blue paint. This big guy is over 500 pounds. Aldabra tortoises are native to the islands of the Aldabra atoll in the Indian Ocean. Aldabra tortoises can live up to 150 years, some unconfirmed reports of over 200 exist. One pair of tortoises came to the zoo as adults in 1956, if you do the math it can easily put them over 90 years old! Approximately 24"x30" (framed).
