Info on the giant tortoises.

[Sue Cooper]

That’s amazing, Pat. I’ve read the whole thing word for word having first seen the photo of these beautiful tortoises. ( I'm very fond of tortoises). Thank you for sharing. Fav.

@susiemc I really wished I had read all the info at the time Sue. It was quite hard to stay at the front long enough to read but I so wished I had put some money in his box!

So interesting Pat

[Maggiemae]

It is all so very interesting - they are animals but are reptiles. And...."an Aldabra giant tortoise named Adwaita may have lived an estimated 255 years."!

What an interesting read. I saw the other photo and then read this while I was having my morning cuppa.

I wanted to learn more so I Googled him and found a couple of articles about his life and his tortoises. Discovered his name is Adrian Graham from an article in Country Life which I have just read online.

I think I now need another cup of tea and I haven't even had my breakfast yet. ha ha.

I love his faithful commitment to his crew. Compare that to people who dump their dogs at the pound when they get old. ( the people and/or their dogs)

@maggiemae Wow that is a long life, if you had one you would really have to plan for life after you like this owner has done.
