@gatorchris1: TORTOISE ATTACK! 😂But he is actually kinda fast 😂 and he will plough into you and run you over! This is Jumanji, our sulcata tortoise. Sulcata tortoises, also known as African spurred tortoises, are the third-largest species of tortoise in the world. They are native to the southern edge of the Sahara Desert in Africa. Sulcata tortoises have a distinctive appearance with a large, domed shell and thick, column-like legs. These tortoises are herbivores, feeding primarily on grasses and plants. Theyre known for their longevity, with some individuals living up to 70 years or more. Jumanji is only 21 old. They are sadly popular pets., they require large outdoor enclosures and specialized care, most captive animals do not receive this and often have stunted growth and malformed shell development. Jumanji here was surrendered to the rescue by an elderly woman who took great care of him. Despite their size, sulcata tortoises are surprisingly fast runners, capable of reaching speeds up to 0.3 miles per hour. #animals #tortoise #reptiles
