We went to Oakland Zoo today with my wife, daughter and my Grandson.

It is a very nice day out and lots people.

The Zoo's animal list have many Turtles and Tortoises but we only saw few of species and very few of them. They do have 4 Aldabras. One large Sulcata and few turtles.

One of the Aldabra are not health looking at all. I saw they feeding them mostly greens, I don't know they have added some supplements or not. My wife said when they walk, they looks like they are dragging their feet.

Look this one.

We had a good time, People are nice, weather are nice, God's Mercy are mostly nice.

We are thankful for a wonderful visit.

Hope you enjoy the Tortoise photo.

I will post other animal's photo later.

Thats one funky aldabra. Even the normal ones aren't as nice as Greg's.
I like the fact that they have grass though. The LA Zoo only has a 3x3 area of live grass. :dodgy:

Yes. They got a good size yard and night house. This Aldabra are very odd looking. Is anyone know why this one become this way??

I'm thinking some birth defect. Anyone know? Maybe this is a job for aldabraman!
