Sanford Zoo

[Scooter]

We decided to go to the Sanford Zoo on Sunday. They only had one turtle and one tortoise (species) on display but what cuties they are!

Black-breasted leaf turtle

Aldabras
This guys was apparently the first male to reproduce in captivity according to the sign

The younger one

I could have spent hours watching these guys.

My family had to just start walking away and hoped I would follow lol. I could not stop watching and taking pics! I'm glad you all are enjoying them as much as I did.

I have two Aldabs named Bo (the bigger one) and So (the smaller one), and I notice that your zoo has one named "Yo" (the younger one) LOL!!!
