Hi fortum members I found this video in Spanish produced byThomas and Sabine Vinke. The video is in Spanish and it doesn't have subtitles. I hope you enjoy the video anyway. This is a lage redfoot. I didn't know these tortoises were also found in Paraguay, I've heard of large Bolivian redfoot tortoises but not from Paraguay. I find it interesting that the tortoises from this region have a higher rounder dome it seems.I just thought that this was a cool and intersting video to share with the foroum enjoy ;):)o_O

Yes indeed. The gran Chaco carbonaria span into Paraguay as well. The divisible line between the southern and gran chacos are within Brazil and Paraguay.
