Description
Status Classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1), and listed on Appendix II of CITES (3), on both as Geochelone gigantea although it is also referred to as Dipsochelys dussumieri or D. elephantine (4).Description The Aldabra giant tortoise is indeed a giant, with individuals reaching over one metre in length (2). The thick, domed carapace is dark grey to black in colour and the robust limbs are covered in bony scales, as is the small, pointed head (5).Range Endemic to the islands of Aldabra and the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, populations have also been introduced to Mauritius, Reunion (6), and granitic islands of Seychelles such as Curieuse and Fregate (7).Habitat inhabits a wide variety of vegetation on the islands where it is found, from scrub and mangrove swamp to grassy plains known as 'platins' (2).Biology The breeding season occurs from February to May (5), and females lay small clutches of 9 to 25 eggs, of which less than half are fertile in the wild (2). Hatchlings emerge anything from 3.5 to 7 months later. Aldabra tortoises have a predominately vegetation-based diet although they will supplement this intake with carrion (2) (7).Threats Giant tortoises throughout the islands of the Indian Ocean represented an important food source for sailors visiting these shores in the 17th to 19th Centuries and live individuals were often captured and stored for meat in the ship's hold (2) (7). In addition, the destruction of habitat and the introduction of mammalian predator
