Aldabra-giant tortoise - a photo on Flickriver

            Originally from Aldabra in the Seychelles, this species can reach up to 1m in length with an average lifespan of more than 150 years. 
The second-largest species of tortoise in the world, the Aldabra species is a cousin of the native domed and saddle-backed giant tortoises, which have gone extinct from Mauritius since the early 18th century.
Photo taken in the Chamarel Tortoise Park.
