Aldabra Giant Tortoise
Distribution
The main population of the Aldabra giant tortoise resides on the islands of the Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles.
Diet
Primarily herbivores, Aldabra giant tortoises eat grasses, leaves, woody plant stems, and fruit.
Information
The carapace is a brown or tan color with a high, domed shape. It has stocky, heavily scaled legs to support its heavy body. The neck of the Aldabra giant tortoise is very long, even for its great size, which helps the animal to exploit tree branches up to a meter from the ground as a food source.
