Red-Footed Tortoises are named after the red coloured scales across their legs. Dexterous and nimble creatures, the Red Footed Tortoise has a relatively thin and smooth shell which helps it fit and squeeze into narrow and tricky openings. Meat from the tortoise is considered a delicacy across South America and sadly huge numbers of the species are shipped across the continent to meet this demand.
