The largest animal in its habitat, the giant tortoise plays a role similar to
the elephant's. In its rigorous search for food, it creates pathways that are
used by other animals. Turtles can live in groups or on their own; but either
way, these reptiles rest during the day after searching for food in the
morning.
Fun Facts: The oldest recorded giant turtle died at the age of 176.

Schleich products are developed with the assistance of parents, teachers and
children and are therefore especially designed for children’s hands. The
design of Schleich products is as realistic and naturalistic as possible. This
enables children to experience the large variety of nature – from domestic
animals on a farm to wild animals in the jungle.
