GIANT TORTOISES.
GIFT TO THE ZOO FROM BEYCHELLES ISLANDS,
The Governor of the Seychelles Islands, Ijoutengut-Colonel the Hon.. Sir Euston Fiennes, has presented two gigantia bad tortoise to the | Zoological Gardens. They have AT- rived safely by way of Ceylon, The smaller of the two weighs 110... the larger, which is not in quite so good condition, weighs only 10015. Tortoises, like fala and obeters, ouths to be heavy for their size. The present pair are examples of the North Allshi Island sortoise (Ten- tudo elephantine) which have been bred and reared at ibo, Government Botanic Station in the Boychelles." ["Mhough they are tine creatures, they are fun from being extrema specimens in size and weight.
Tortoises up to 3:10b, one comazon. and one weighing 700lb. has been recorded. They are, vegetable feed- ers. their chief foot in captivity being cabbage un fetice. They scoo learn to recognise their keeper and come transds him when he enters their
deure, rearing their long necks upwards and outwards to take food.
They are quite harmless, although their sharp-edged jaws seem yowerful enough to indict a serious wound.. If a stronger at- tempts in touch them they quickly withdraw their bead and neck, mak ing a boarse kind of bisa. There is no certain evidence of the age that they may astain, and common rum. our probably greatly exaggerates it. But they are certainly long-lived, and individuals have been known to rencis two centuries.
THEIR 1914ND "HOMES.
These giant tortoises are in every sense creatures of the had, and differ in little but size from the familiar Fortoises seen in South Europe. Im mersion for a few hours in seu-water would certainty kill them, and they drown easily in fresh water. And yet they have been toured only in oceanic islands very kir from the great coatingate, in the Galapagos Islands, some 600 miles from the coat of Sonth America, and in the
Comoros Sfascarenes,
Aldabras Amirantes, "und Seychelles, scatter- ed in the Western Indian Ocean, hundreds of miles of deep water separating them from each other and Iron the mainland. Recent remains of a very large species have been found in Madagascar, and in tertiary geological times they were abundant over a wide region of the Northern berisphere.
The tortoises themselves and their eys are good to ent, and in must be supposed that they were extermin ated on the mainlands by large car- nivorous animals, and have survived only in the remote islands where." there were no Datum enemies, these islands being themselves the rem
Ets of suck continenta. Within historical times they existed in huige numbers in their safe retreats, but the advent of man has almost. ez- terminated them. They were found to be a better article of food even tcap the sea-turtles. In 1750 four mall vessels are engaged to bring tortoise from Rodriguez to Mauri-
