Red-footed Tortoise
The Red-footed Tortoise is a colourful and charismatic species native to the tropical forests and grasslands of South America. It gets its name from the distinctive red or orange scales on its legs, as well as similar bright markings on its head and tail.
Medium-sized and typically growing up to 40 cm in length, the Red-footed Tortoise is an omnivore, feeding on a mix of fruits, flowers, fungi, and occasionally insects or carrion. Its varied diet helps it thrive in the wild and contributes to seed dispersal in its ecosystem.
Known for its gentle nature and engaging personality, the Red-footed Tortoise is a favourite among reptile enthusiasts. At Crocodiles of the World, we care for these beautiful tortoises and highlight their role in the wild, as well as the threats they face from habitat loss and the pet trade.
