Reptiles!!!!

The Aldabra Tortoise are the largest of all land tortoises. They are native to Aldabra Islands, which are dry coral atolls, in the Indian Ocean north of Madagascar and off the east coast of Africa. They are herbivorous and rare.

They are large enough for a child to ride them. I wouldn't suggest it, however, as they are capable of painfully biting your finger thinking it was food.

You might not be able to see it but there's an alligator swimming around in there. You can see them from up top or come around the side to the underwater window. See the white thing in the water? That's bone. Careful, you might be the next meal! Actually, the security guard told me, the alligator didn't actually eat that animal. It was placed there to make it more realistic. So what did eat it? Hmmm......

Other reptiles and amphibians can be seen in an indoor exhibit. Just walk around and you're soon to see the building. Strangely enough, they have an elephant sculpture in front of the entrance.
