Description

Hugo came to Australian Reptile Park in 1963 at the age of 13 years old. Weighing in at 165 kilos. Some Galapagos tortoise can reach nearly two metres in length and weigh up to 400kg.
Like other reptiles, tortoises detect the faintest of smells with the vomeronasal organ, or Jacobson's Organ, on the roof of their mouths. Instead of flicking their tongues, they pump their throats to circulate air through the nose and around the mouth.
However in this picture he is waiting for his carrot.
