Why go for a fancy 5-star hotel when you could be chilling in your own cozy shell? No rent, no stress, just good vibes when you're a tortoise 🐢😎 📷@iotaseychelles /Santosh Albert

When the grass is greener, the tortoises are busier😂 Did you know? Aldabra giant tortoises in Seychelles usually start mating during the Northwest monsoon, beginning in October and lasting until April. 📷@daniel_bichsel

Just another day in paradise🐢 Aldabra giant tortoises are experts at wallowing. They seek out mud or shallow water puddles to cool off on hot, sunny days☀️ 📷Vanessa Dufresne

Nothing like a weekend lie-in🐢 Aldabra giant tortoises often relax in open spaces under shade with their limbs extended. This relaxed posture is mainly due to the fact that they evolved without any natural predators. 📷@Rich Baxter

Always on the lookout for a snack🍓 Aldabra giant tortoises love snacking on Indian Almond seeds. The fleshy exterior makes a delicious treat. These tortoises eat the whole seed and later disperse it through their 💩, aiding in seed movement and growth🌱🐢 📷@Rich Baxter

Why did the tortoise cross the road? To get to the greener side, of course! This slow and steady adventurer is always on the lookout for some fresh grass and leaves🍃 📷@Rich Baxter

Meet Seychelles' very own gardeners. Their munching habits help control vegetation growth🌿, which in turn benefits the entire ecological community. 📷@rich_in_nature
