Red Foot Tortoise

The Red Foot Tortoise (Chelonoidis carbonarius) has dark limbs with brightly coloured scales that range from pale yellow to dark red, which are most noticeable on their legs and feet. This terrestrial tortoise can be found in their natural habitat ranging from dry and wet forest areas, grasslands and the savannah. The Red Foot Tortoise can be easily recognised by their dark-coloured shell, known as a carapace with a lighter patch in the middle of each scute (scales on the shell).
