Dora, Dora, The Explorer

The Rad Zoo


These are yellow footed tortoises when they are small. They can grow up to three feet long.


There is another yellow-footed tortoise from the Rad Zoo her name is Dora. Dora is a Geochelone denticulata, and she is from South America. She has tough yellow scales on her feet and head. She defends her self by tucking her head inside her shell and putting her legs over in front of it. When she was little she was the size of a quarter now she is the size of a football. She may live to be 50 years old. When she is fully grown, she will be 3 feet long and weigh 35 pounds. She eats raw fruit and vegetables. Dora loves bananas!
