You're welcome HansNew! I saw those myself in Zanzibar...

Can´t say for sure. I think, the shell looks very similar, but from my point of view the legs of mine are larger (the legs of yours look different for me) and I´m not shure about the 60 - 90 cm / 25 to 35 inches. This one here should be larger. I´d say, mine is a giant turtle species.
No problem. Do you think we have the same species on hand? I am changing that back to Unknown Spotting.
Don´t mind, there is no way to check the size on the first picture. My mistake, didn´t give that information. Sorry. But thanks for support.
@HanSiNewcover: Ok. I was not definitely sure. I have a picture in my profile that seems very similar.
I loaded up another Picture. On that the turtle is not that good defined, but it must be some kind of Giant Turtle. It´s definitvely larger then the African one. Hope that helps, I don`t agree with the african tortoise.
