Aldabra tortoise swimming

Came across this today. Not sure if it's been posted before. I never imagined a giant tortoise swimming.

It appears they like the beach too.

Wow, amazing pictures. They are beautiful tortoises, it is amazing to see them swim. I also watched the video with the baby, it is so cute to see the little baby beside the adult tortoise. I wish I could have an Aldabra.
Thanks for sharing

That was a neat video. It reminds me of when you see underwater videos of elephants swimming.
