Group Siesta

Description

A group of Aldabra Giant Tortoises holding a siesta in Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden on Mauritius.
The tortoises were once imported from Seychelles to Mauritius to replace the native giant tortoises of Mauritius that were unfortunately all eaten by european colonists. :(

The garden itself is quite famous since it is the one of the oldest botanical gardens in the tropics on the southern hemisphere and sports thus many "vegetational" specimen that one typically reads about only in cookbooks or adventure stories.. ;)
