Information about the Red-Footed Tortoise:

The Red-Footed Tortoise lives in the tropical forests and grasslands in northern South America. The name comes from the red or orange scales visible on its limbs, as well as its head and tail. The tortoise has evolved a high domed narrow width carapace to facilitate getting between narrow openings of trees and vegetation in the rain forest. It is very popular as a pet.
