@ 1Sarah2, I do not know exactly whether they are in Granby today these turtles, but the day when I took this picture, he was on the garden aisle, accompanied by his guardian. Thank you for your comment ! :)

I had asked about the size as the Granby Zoo only had one tortoise listed on their web site. It didn't really look like this one and it was a giant. Given your answer and that it has already been identified, it is clear that your spotting was not the tortoise listed. Some zoos list many fewer animals than they actually have. But it is always a good first place to check : )

How large do you estimate the tortoise to be?
