Lula

I'm just over 1 year old Radiated Tortoise {Geochelone Radiata]. I was bred in captivity in France so I have a certificate to prove I wasn't traded illegally!. We are endangered mostly due to the fact I am a delacacy food in my native Madagascar: so I must be looked after carefully and bred at the appropriate time to conserve my species. My shell is also considered an aphrodisiac in Asian medicine amongst other things - so life in the wild is pretty harsh! But apart from that I like to live it in a quiet & chilled out way, eating organic food and basking under my heat lamp. I am quite shy unless I know you: in which case some would consider me nosey! I am not as slow as people think or as stupid...if I want to I can run quite fast! I am also very strong [closely related to the elephant]and when fully grown could burrow through concrete! My beak is very sharp for cutting vegetation so beware! I am a very hardy creature who can survive desert environments, I can go for weeks if not months without water or food which is why my species has been on the planet since the time of the dinosaur!
