Merckslides catalogue number: 04-14929
Comments: OK, I'm not absolutely sure what type of tortoise this was. These big ones come exclusively from oceanic islands, so Galapagos, Seychelles, and Aldabara seems most likely. Clearly capable of chomping a child's face off, but apparantly quite tame, as they were allowed to mix freely with children.
