Smile Colchester Zoo Tortoises

I went to Colchester Zoo yesterday and took photos of all the Tortoises. So I thought I would share them with you all!
Although there is one main tortoise enclosure, they are dotted around the whole zoo in all different enclosures. So anyone who is considering going there, you really have to. It is a brilliant Zoo.
I live in Colchester so I have grown up watching the Zoo change and expand. But now it really is a pretty awesome place they have put so much work into making it one of the best Zoo's in the country.

Lovely pics

Colchester zoo is fantastic. We live about 70 miles away but have annual passes at the moment.

They have a fantastic selection of torts.

Did you see the Radiated? they are my favourites

It's an aladabra. No it's not, but most raised in the UK are not smooth.
