Aldabra Giant Tortoise

Scientific Name: Aldabrachelys gigantea

Common Names: Aldabra Tortoise, Aldabra Giant Tortoise

Overview
The Aldabra Giant Tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) is one of the largest and most iconic tortoises in the world. Native to the Aldabra Atoll in the Indian Ocean, part of the Seychelles, these majestic creatures can live for over a century and are known for their massive size and slow, deliberate movements. They have a domed, dark shell and can weigh up to 550 pounds (250 kg) when fully grown. These tortoises are herbivores and play an essential role in the ecosystem by grazing on vegetation and helping to maintain the balance of their environment. They are currently classified as Vulnerable due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change.

Shelter: Provide shaded areas for them to hide from the sun, as well as a dry place to rest

Care Notes
Activity Level: Slow-moving and deliberate. Aldabra Giant Tortoises are not particularly active, but they require large areas to roam and graze.
Health: These tortoises need access to sunlight for natural vitamin D synthesis and must have a proper diet to avoid shell deformities and obesity.
Social Nature: Generally solitary, but they can tolerate being housed with other tortoises of the same species. Aggression is rare but can occur in overcrowded conditions.
Breeding: Aldabra Giant Tortoises lay eggs, and females can lay multiple clutches per year. Egg incubation requires careful monitoring of temperature and humidity.

Conservation Status
Conservation Status: Vulnerable (IUCN Red List)
Threats: Habitat destruction and climate change
Conservation Efforts: Conservation programs are in place to protect the species, particularly on the Aldabra Atoll, where they have a protected, natural habitat. Breeding programs are also conducted in zoos and wildlife reserves to help maintain the population.

Fun Fact
The Aldabra Giant Tortoise is not only one of the largest tortoises but also one of the longest-living creatures on Earth. Some individuals in captivity have been known to live more than 150 years, making them a symbol of longevity and resilience. Their slow and steady lifestyle is a unique feature of this remarkable species!

Exceptional
Format: Kindle
I think this an exciting entertaining story different from other fantasy reverse harmen story. I love the 1st book in this series and hope it continues to weave a story of friendship, love and disappointment as well as sadness. The cliffhanger was gripping and held you in suspense that waiting until the next book was released was almost too much. I’m so glad I waited to read this series until the majority of the books were released. Katie May and Quinn Arthur’s are wonderful writers and I’m looking forward to reading more from both of them.

I don’t mind a cliffhanger,
Format: Kindle
but I dropped at least one star because of the obnoxious gloating of the author after the cliffhanger. Seriously - I don’t understand making your readers angry because you’re smug and expecting them to keep reading your books. I was very definitely enjoying the series. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth and mixed feelings about continuing the series.

The series as a whole so far 5/25
Format: Kindle
I read reviews before going into this book and I don't agree with one of the more harsh ones on the main trigger she had. It is stated clearly in the forward and it wasn't as blase as it was made out to be. It definitely is touched on more and hasn't just been brushed off as the series goes I definitely would recommend reading it. It's a good series just be for-warned I like the series as a whole. The characters are awesome I adore the fmc shes cute and adorable but also a badass. Though there are a bunch of holes for her that I feel like just got left out. The guys are interesting and shout out to yall for not making Gage a dragon. I'm tired of the broody ones who don't wanna talk aboit what they are being Dragons. Ki is my favorite You can definitely tell if is written by 2 different people though because the phrasing just doesn't match up and wouldn't be something people that age says. And it flip flops between them. I feel like there's substance without substance. We are 4 books in and we don't really know much back story on literally anyone more than right under surface deep. There are definitely favorite MMCs which is kind of disappointing since some get shoved to the wayside. Specifically both of the best friends. They're basically useless and it's made obvious as the books go on. As well as all the men are ungodly self deprecating. I enjoy the plot line for the most part like I said I enjoy the series its different and refreshing. I do feel like the series is being dragged out though unfortunately. And the latest cliff hanger was just meh. So hopefully the next book is the last one.

Wow!
Format: Kindle
This book was awesome! Seraphina and her family have moved to a new town. Her family is a bit... odd. She grew up learning how to protect herself from people who might hurt her. Bloodshed is a daily occurrence with her brothers and parents during their practice sessions, and it’s all fun and games unless you need to hide a body. Sera’s family is very close, and she’s been homeschooled most of her life. But in this new town she is going to start regular school as a senior at the local high school. Unfortunately, things at her school aren’t all they seem to be. Or perhaps more than they seem to be. Sera has her own demons to deal with, and she’s terrified her new friends will learn about her weird family and other issues and drop her like a rock. It turns out they have their own secrets as well. This story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next one! This book is well written and well edited. The heroine is spunky and has a great heart and wicked sense of humor.

A Fox Amongst the Wolves
Format: Kindle
Collette has been forgotten about her whole life. Her parents don't bother with her, others don't try either once they realize she uses sign language to speak, and she's a shifter surrounded by humans that hate her kind. On her 18th birthday, she runs away. She takes the train and then bus wherever it can get her as far from home as possible. A missed bus brings her and a mysterious but kind man to Willowdale. What happens next is a story of fated mates, shifters, magic, new best friends and found family, and a stolen child. I'm sad this was a shorter read but only because of how much I loved Collette, Dylan, Hunter, Luca, Lena, and the others in their community. I love how detailed the characters are even with the shorter story. You can tell their characteristics easily, and the lead in to book two is done so well. I loved this insta love book with just the right amount of drama.
