Be sure to the see the video clip! At the Charles Darwin Research Station in the Galapagos Islands. Animals are brought in from other zoos, and/or those that are wounded. Gun shot wounds are apparent in several of these tortoises.

Take good care of it.
I'm happy to see he is still doing well!
Very cool that you both spotted it!
FYI - this is the same tortoise that KarenL spotted in December, 2002!

Yes, that is exactly what I was doing wrong! Thanks!
Neil, when I add a video from You Tube I copy the address on top not the link given for You Tube.
Great video Neil, it gives me a better idea of these wonderful tortoises.
Luis, I added the YouTube video clip - check it out!
Thanks Luis! I'm working on adding some video to this one too.
Great series and first photo Neil!
