I can't find any information about the growth of tortoise brains.
I'm particularly interested in sulcatas.
Since they grow to be huge, and ours has grown from being held in the palm of your hand to 12 inches long and 50 pounds, with her head growing proportionally, I was wondering if her brain is also growing and getting bigger.
My guess is that if it is, her intelligence will not increase.
And I was wondering how big her brain is and how big will it get, too. (peanut, almond, walnut, etc.)
I was also wondering about her memory and intellect.
She seems to have a decent memory for locations. (like where she sleeps, and where she got out once where she tried again and again but eventually gave up)
Often it seems that it takes some amount of time, sometimes a "minute" or so, for her brain to "kick in", like noticing that we are preparing her food. (based on sight and probably hearing to a degree)
She seems "affectionate" at times (like laying pressed up against your leg), and clearly recognizes some people.
Thanks for any info. (professional and non)
