Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) on the way to leave the island...
"The Rock" and 20 of his friends such as "Big Daddy" and "George" can be visited on Ile aux Augrettes in Mauritius. The tortioses were introduced to the island by the Mauritian Wildlife foundation.
After both native species of giant tortoises were extripated by the first settlers and voyagers, the ecosystem was inbalanced. Some trees were struggeling, since they lost the main seed disperser. To help the critically endangered white ebony tree (Diospyros egrettarum) and other native plants, the giant tortoise from the seychelles was introduced to Mauritius. It's the only giant tortoise species from the pacific Islands that survived the slaughter and it was willing and successful in filling the gap.
Nevertheless, this old buddies rovering the island have a long story and are very diverse. Some are shy, others are agressive or love to cuddle. The Rock is amazing, gentle but he has his ways ;)

The final sign of spring has sprung at Zoo Atlanta. Patches, a female Aldabra tortoise estimated to be at least 50 years old, made the season’s ceremonial “Aldabra Walk” on Tuesday, April 26, 2016, kicking off the return of the Zoo’s giant tortoises to their warm-weather habitat at Scaly Slimy Spectacular: The Amphibian and Reptile Experience.
Although Patches herself is a piece of living history at Zoo Atlanta, she completed her walk outfitted with the latest 21st century technology, wearing a camera on her shell.

Two Aldabra giant tortoises are now grazing at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo. Both males, one weighs 400 pounds and the other tips the scales at 600 pounds. Besides their impressive size, Aldabra tortoises are thought to live 200 years or more. Watch them move and learn a couple facts from Bill Orrico, a Senior Wild Animal Keeper at the Bronx Zoo.
Aldabra tortoises are native the Aldabra atoll in the Republic of Seychelles and have been introduced to several other islands in the western Indian Ocean. A vulnerable species, estimates indicate there are approximately 100,000 Aldabras remaining in the wild.

Aldabra, the world's second largest coral atoll, is in the Aldabra Group of islands in the Indian Ocean that form part of the Seychelles. Uninhabited and extremely isolated, Aldabra is virtually untouched by humans, has distinctive island fauna including the Aldabra Giant Tortoise, and is designated a World Heritage Site.
Aldabra was visited by Portuguese navigators in 1511. The islands were already known to the Arabs, from whom they get their name. In the middle of the 18th century, they became dependencies of the French colony of Réunion, from where expeditions were made for the capture of the giant tortoises.
In 1810 with Mauritius, Réunion, the Seychelles and other islands, Aldabra passed into the possession of Great Britain. Réunion was returned to France, and Mauritius gained possession of Aldabra as well as the rest of the Seychelles. The previous inhabitants were emigrants from the Seychelles. Sailors landed on the atoll in the 19th century and attempted to raid the island for tortoises as food; in 1842, two ships were reported to have taken 1200 of them. By 1900, the tortoises were nearly extinct, and a crew would often have to hunt for three days to find one.

Two Aldabra giant tortoises are now grazing at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo. Both males, one weighs 400 pounds and the other tips the scales at 600 pounds. Besides their impressive size, Aldabra tortoises are thought to live 200 years or more. Watch them move and learn a couple facts from Bill Orrico, a Senior Wild Animal Keeper at the Bronx Zoo.
Aldabra tortoises are native the Aldabra atoll in the Republic of Seychelles and have been introduced to several other islands in the western Indian Ocean.

Ole
Ole
OLE’
Here’s an idea, that I have been brewing
We all feel like ruins, so what do you say?
I’ve got these four wheels and who would could want for more wheels?
Just throw in a suitcase, we’re off and away
Let’s drive south, way past the border
Raise our passports high there
Mexico we’ll light our load
Our spirits, they will fly there
Don’t say oh ha ha, till you feel the baha
The people are kind there
I know you’ll agree
Frieda Carlo and Katy Herada
Are two of my favourites they always have been
Come with me to Guadalajara, stop off at Chihuahua
Tiny dogs will greet us there
We’ll sit and yap, for hours
I’m just a vulture, for old Mayan culture
Or reefs you can snorkel
(No bullfights for me!)
Late in morning we’ll catch a fiesta in time for siesta, again
Veracruz will ease our blues then
Off up to Toranga
I’m really partial, to shellfish and mangoes and fresh cut Sinatra
I know that you can go, well try the flamingo
Hey senor, don’t be a bore
This sadness you’re bearing is wearing you down
When you unravel, there’s nothing like travel
So pick up the pieces, take it from me
All at once your life is over
Before your very eyes
So, what do you say
I say Ole’
Ole’
Qe Padre
I say Ole’
