Tortoise Home Makeover



Thanks to the help of the horticulture and maintenance staff, the Galapagos Tortoises received an exhibit makeover. New boulders were placed in the yard as a barrier to prevent exploration into the bird yard pool and new sod was laid for the tortoises to enjoy. In their night holding, old mulch and dirt was completely removed allowing for a thorough cleaning of the ventilation and heat system and new, fluffy mulch was put in. Marco and Erwin appear quite content in their made-over holding and exhibit. Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard to make the tortoises "happy".
