Clifford

Red-footed Tortoise

Clifford was donated to the Center in 2005. He was approximately three years old and only about six inches in shell length. Now he is almost double that in size. Tortoises are a strictly terrestrial turtle that rarely if ever goes in the water. Red-footed tortoises are found in South America and occupy a more humid environment than most species of tortoises.
