IDThe Surabaya Zoo in East Java has welcomed four Aldabra giant tortoises through a collaboration with Japan's iZoo, marking the first time the zoo has housed this species. The group includes one male and three female tortoises imported from Shizuoka, Japan. Native to the Seychelles' Aldabra Atoll, these tortoises are among the largest land species, second only to Galapagos tortoises. The animals arrived in July 2026 after undergoing quarantine and acclimatization, as part of an initial phase of an expanded exchange program with iZoo, which plans to introduce other species like Japanese macaques, giraffes, and red pandas in the future.
