Like the previous version that I made two years ago, this so called “pocket exhibit” is a speculative complex that is mostly dedicated to the infamously iconic meerkat, along with a few animals that directly live alongside them.
I had an idea about an outdoor cafe that had giant tortoises roaming around. Would that work? Like you see these kitten cafes and dog cafes and I was wondering if a tortoise cafe would work?
Its always cool to be able to capture animals in a way that you can see features that you wouldn't normally be able to, like the texture on the outer edge of the mouth here. Not 100% sure on the species ID, as the zoo keeps Galapagos and Aldabra tortoises in the same yard.
I really loved how the shell looked with those wet spots on it. I'm not 100% sure on the species ID since the giant tortoise yard has both Galapagos and Aldabra tortoises, but after watching a video about the differences the features of this individual best match Aldabra.
