Wishing a Happy Hatch-day to a Tiny Tortoise

We have an Egyptian tortoise birthday to celebrate – Female ‘Minya’ is turning 13!

This species of tortoise is the second smallest tortoise species. The Galapagos giant tortoise is the world’s largest tortoise species. It would take 400 Egyptian tortoises to make up the size of a single Galapagos giant tortoise!

Stop by the Savannah Building to wish Minya a tortoi-lly awesome day!
