I do not find the genus "Zonisaurus" nor the common name. This amazing animal is a tortoise. I think it might be a radiated tortoise, the Critically Endangered Astrochelys radiata (or relative) http://www.iucnredlist.org/apps/redlist/... . So yes, please name the facility where you photographed this in the habitat space. Thanks

beautiful turtle! If it was at the zoo, you could add it to the Captive Animals mission.
