Baby Giant Tortoise thrills visitors
During a recent survey of Cousin Island, Nature Seychelles’ staff and
volunteers discovered a very young and very small giant – a baby
Aldabra Giant Tortoise. It was found among the boulders on the rocky
plateau of the Special Reserve. Nearby, a group of visitors were being
shown around by their guide, visiting Warden Glenn Jackway. Alerted to
the young Torti discovery by Nature Seychelles’ Science Coordinator
Rachel Bristol, Glenn was able to treat his group to ‘exclusive’ views
of the find.
