Large Tortoise at Cape May County Zoo in New Jersey

My husband and I are huge fans of visiting zoos and wildlife parks. As of right now, we have visited over 57 different zoos and parks here in the United States and every year we make a point to go and visit a new zoo or park that we had never been to before.

For my “almost” wordless Wednesday post for this week, I am sharing a photo with all of you that I took of this gigantic turtle that I saw down at the Cape May Zoo last September. We love that zoo and visit it twice every year.

When I say “gigantic” that is an understatement! If I wanted to hop onto his shell for a ride, I would need someone to help me get on him. He/She is HUGE!!! I love turtles (I have 2 pet turtles in an aquarium in our family room) and think they are beautiful. My daughter though…thinks turtles are ugly.

So…I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think they are a fabulous animal!!! If I was that large and that heavy, I would be as slow as a turtle too! hahaha! Enjoy!
