Our leopard tortoise habitat recently received a spruce up! These renovations took place as six of the nine juvenile tortoises (aged 5 years old) outgrew their creche area and have now moved into the adult’s habitat next door. Our ectotherm team temporarily relocated the tortoises for two nights to allow this mahi to take place – as our keepers say these little guys are ‘just too curious!’. To accompany this increase of tortoises, more ‘refuges’ in the form of ceramic pots were added to the habi

It may be April Fool’s Day, but this leopard tortoise’s role as a gardener on the savannas of eastern and southern Africa is no joke. Feeding on a wide variety of plants, seeds will pass undigested through the tortoise’s gut and make their way back to the ground where they will eventually take root. Video taken at the Lincoln Children's Zoo. #leopard #tortoise #shell #shelled #peekaboo #reptile #gardener #savanna #PhotoArk #savetogether | Joel Sartore, Photographer

The leopard tortoise, the largest tortoise species in southern Africa, roams grasslands and savannas with its beautifully patterned shell that resembles a leopard’s spots. 🐢 Its high-domed armor helps protect it from predators, while its strong, stumpy legs carry it steadily across the veld in search of grasses and succulents. Slow-moving but surprisingly resilient, it can live for over 50 years in the wild. 🌾 Sir David Attenborough has inspired millions by bringing the natural world and its p

Leopard Tortoises will lay multiple clutches of eggs in a year ranging from 5-30 eggs per clutch. This was Tortellini’s second clutch of 17 eggs this year (34 in total). She will dig a couple “test nests” to see if the soil condition is right, but once she finds the right spot, it will generally take her about 3-4 hours to dig the nest lay the eggs and cover the nest back up. The nest can be over a foot deep in a bell shape. Tortoises have a water storage organ that they will use during times of
