This is a Giant Asian Pond Turtle - Heosemys grandis.

They're displayed outside the bachelor Proboscis Monkey exhibit.
 
@Thatzookeeperguy You're welcome. Easiest way to tell tortoises and turtles/terrapins apart is by looking for webbing on the feet - this fella has some webbing, so it's definitely not a tortoise.

You have quite a popular Instagram account ;)
 
@Zooish I find it hilariously concerning how I knew to look at the feet to tell the difference but just blatantly didn't ... Think I was just thrown off by the sheer size and thought I took this pic in the gharial enclosure lol...



Thank you if you've got an Instagram Ill follow you if you want ?
