Speedy steps from Egyptian tortoise, ‘Nalut’—possibly drawn by the scent of lunch! 🐢🥬

Did you know that their sense of smell is one of their primary tools for finding food? They use it to detect edible plants, recognize familiar environments, and even identify potential mates.

A reminder that the early tortoise gets the greens... but don’t worry, we make sure all tortoises get their fill!
