Singapore Zoo Receives Two Aldabra Tortoises For Breeding Plan

Two females Aldabra tortoises were given to the Singapore Zoo from Mauritius as a commemoration gift. The two tortoises are currently under quarantine at the zoo but they will join an existing herd of six tortoises in a month. Named Casela and Coco, these two females will be a great boost to their breeding programme.
