African Spur Tortoise

NEW FOR 2012!

New to the Aquarium family this year we have two baby African Spurred Tortoises, which will both grow to enormous proportions as one of the world's biggest tortoises.

Sharing their space we have a fabulous team of Bearded Dragons who just love to sunbathe under their heated lamps all day.

Be sure to give them both a nice warm welcome to help them settle into their new surroundings!  

Fast & Scaly Factoids

Factoid Number One

African Spurred Tortoises are the 3rd largest type of tortoise in the World.

Factoid Number Two

The African Spurred Tortoises are known to get excited and run around just before it rains!

Factoid Number Three

Bearded Dragons love sunbathing and are originally from Australia!

Factoid Number Four

The tortoises have five toes on their front feet and only four on their back feet!

Factoid Number Five

In the wild, Bearded Dragons stand on only their back legs to run away from danger.
