(In some of these pictures, it’s difficult to tell the yellow foots apart from the Aldabras!)
Here are some pictures of true giant yellow foots, not those 16-18” ones that you regularly see being labeled as “giants”. I recently just read (Chelonian Library #3, South American tortoises) that the record holder for the largest yellow foot IS the big female from the Saint Louis Zoo! She measures 37” straight carapace length and weighs exactly 200 pounds—bigger than any tortoises (that I know of) of the two smallest species from the Galapagos! (As far as I know, neither Chelonoidis hoodensis or C. duncanensis naturally exceed 185-190lbs for larger individuals). The male yellow foot at the Saint Louis zoo is also very large; he measures 32 inches SCL ands weighs 154 pounds. Both of them apparently have very calm temperaments from years of being around people. I had also heard that Zoo Miami used to have a group of giants that were in the 28” (SCL) range, but unfortunately I could not find any images of them online. I hope to visit the Saint Louis zoo eventually and get more pictures (and hopefully videos) of their giants.
