About the Aldabra Tortoises

They can be observed sunbathing during the early morning hours, sitting upright on the ground, arms held out from the sides and resting on their knees, much like a human in a yoga meditation position.
About Nile Crocodiles
This is the largest species of crocodile found in Africa and Madagascar. It can reportedly grow to 7 m, but the average length for males is around 5.2 m, with females reaching around 3.5 m. They can grow up to 80 cm in their first year, but the rate then slows down. The average lifespan is between 60 to 100 years. Large crocodiles eat approximately 120 kg of food per year and may weigh more than 500 kg.
The majority of an adult crocodile’s diet comes from fish, although they will also eat large mammals such as zebra, antelope and giraffe and any other unfortunate creature found near the water’s edge, including the occasional human and also other crocodiles. They are strong swimmers and can stay underwater for up to half an hour. The crocodiles in the reserve come from the population originally imported from Madagascar in 1985. Today La Vanille houses around 1500 individuals in various stages of growth.
