Default Tortoise Story......But a different One
These photos were taken during our holidays in Srilanka. This place is called Star Tortoise Museum where tortoise eggs hatching, tortoise care unit is a part of it. In the same care unit many tortoises are those who have been saved from the Tsunami which hit Srilanka few years back.

Tortoise eggs hatching being carried out



small turtles after coming out from eggs are shifted to this pond.



A blind Tortoise




A rare white tortoise.

I found some baby snapping turtles once but we let them free. So adorable.
