Munich Zoo - Giant tortoises

Aldabra giant tortoises in their large indoor exhibit in the Giant Tortoise House in Munich Zoo. In this topical house you can also see leaf-cutter ants and African mole rats.

One of my favourite animal houses in Hellabrunn. Greater Vasa Parrots, Green iguana and anolis lizards live freely together with the tortoises. In former times, also Whistling Ducks and Mousedeer were kept together with them.
