Seychelles: The Giant Tortoise, Aldabra Atoll

The Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea), from the islands of the Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles, is one of the largest tortoises in the world. Primarily herbivores, Aldabra giant tortoises eat grasses, leaves, and woody plant stems. Some individual Aldabra giant tortoises are thought to be over 200 years of age.

Seychelles: Beach

The Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, off East Africa. It's home to numerous beaches, coral reefs and nature reserves, as well as rare animals such as giant Aldabra tortoises. Mahé, a hub for visiting the other islands, is home to capital Victoria. It also has the mountain rainforests of Morne Seychellois National Park and beaches, including Beau Vallon and Anse Takamaka.
