happy galapagos tortoise

One of two galapagos tortoises that live with two rheas in our South America loop. (And yes, I know there are no rheas on the Galapagos Islands - I did not choose this mix).

wen I was there I only saw Aruba tortoises and no rea:confused:s !

I think you mean aldabra (not aruba). Those are in their own enclosure in another part of the zoo. This enclosure has two galapagos tortoises (which are not always visible) and two rheas - one white and one normal.

However, we recently acquired them and were without rheas for a few years, so it is highly likely that there were none there at the time of your visit.
