The Red-Footed Tortoise (Geochelone carbonaria) lives in the tropical forests and grasslands in northern South America as well as some scattered populations in the islands of the Caribbean. It is very popular as a pet. The name comes from the red or orange scales visible on its limbs, as well as its head and tail. Being primarily a forest dweller the tortoise has evolved a high domed narrow width carapace to facilitate getting between narrow openings of trees and vegetation in the rain forest. The average adult Geochelone carbonaria ranges from 10-16 inches. (Source: Wikipedia)
