The World’s largest tortoise found in Amazon
River is around 529 years old / height-59
feet/ weight-800 pounds OR 362.87 kg
incredible.
The red rimmed tortoise is also called the red-
foot or red-legged tortoise, the Brazilian
giant tortoise, or South American forest
tortoise.

These types of large size tortoise are always
found in the Amazon River, most of them are
found in (Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela,
and so on) the Adults often reach 3m in
length, however this one is much larger. The
tortoise Females have wide flattened shells,
are larger and more numerous than the males
tortoise, the Adult tortoise Arraus feed
entirely on plant food.
Their main diet is a plant that is native to the
Chtac Province region of Brazil. These flowers
of this plant have a gene in them which
promotes increased cellular life thus allowing
those that consumed them to have a greater
lifespan. Amongst the native inhabitants are
turtle’s that grew constantly in their lifespan
until the day they died. The introduction of
this flower into their diet thus allowed them
to grow to immense sizes and they served as
local guardians to the plant
.
It was first discovered by the modern world in
1892 by Haughton who was the last person to
had seen it in the century.
The nesting habits of this species are similar
to those of sea turtles. Just like sea turtles
they gather meet in huge numbers so they can
travel to suitable nesting areas. The female
tortoise lay their eggs on sandbanks that are
exposed where there is only dry season but
there are relatively few such sites.

The females timing is to come out on the
sandbanks at night time to lay their eggs and
go back to the sea, which can number anywhere
from 90 to 100 soft-shelled eggs. and they
then return to their feeding grounds which
they belong to.

The young when hatched are around 5 cm long
darts directly for the water, but they emerge
to the attentions of many predators so they
can only about five percent ever reach the
adult feeding grounds. This it is an endangered
species and is protected in some country and
areas.

This story is a complete lie. You are saying the tortoise is 9 storeys high and weighs less than half a ton. Come on man... SMH

The "tortoise" is not real. The picture is a scene from the 2006 Japanese movie "Gamera the Brave" which features a giant turtle creature. At one point in the movie, the wounded Gamera is transported via a military truck to a research facility. The circulating image is apparently taken from this part of the movie.
