La Digue is home to about 50 free-living specimens of the giant tortoise. If you are travelling on the island, you will come across a turtle again and again, even on the road. These are Aldabra giant tortoises, which can easily live to be 200 years old and even older.
Males can grow to 1.30 m long and weigh 250 kg. Females come to a body length of just under 1.00 m and a weight of 167 kg.
