I can't wait to do a Galapagos tortoise encounter/behind the scenes tour at the Toledo Zoo. It can be expensive but I think it'll be worth it!!I've always wondered if my little "CupCake" came from Cowboy, but knowing what hussies they are , I'll never know.
Even though I'd done lots of research, seen Aldabras in zoos, and your photos - nothing quite prepares you for the prehistoric giants up close , especially Cowboy.
I look at your photos now & then & try to imagine my CupCake at even 1/2 that size. .

Was Cowboy walking over to inspect the camera?
He looks to be such a beautiful gentle giant. Although I'm satisfied with our California Desert Tortoise, I'm fascinated by Aldabras. If only I had the space. Happy New Year, friends.~ He comes over just to be touched and scratched.
That looks like a wonderful moment I hope to experience with an Aldabra some day! <3
Love it. Your torts are stunning. But then I am sure you already know that.[emoji1]
