Geochelone gigantea
Thank you for the suggestions and I figured out that it was an Aldabra tortoise.
Do you happen to have a front view? If I can see the marginal scutes on the carapace (scales on the top portion of the shell), I can tell you if it's Galapagos or Aldabra.
Looks like a Galapagos Tortoise.
