NC Zoo - Unknown Tortoise

  • Media owner nczoofan
  • Date added
This species has replaced the yellow-footed and red-footed tortoise in the aviary. It was unlabelled. My guess was Forsten's tortoise.
@Breckenridge Asia is not for at least 3 more years, so its unlikely. I think they wanted to replace the unmanaged species held here prior with a species that is of higher conservation concern. Asia will have a reptile building so its very likely this pair will move over in a few years.
 
@nczoofan I remember looking through the Zoo's website archives and seeing Forsten's tortoise listed as a species in the aviary in the past. Glad to see they brought them back.
