Red Foot Pictures

I had the red foot tortoises outside yesterday, and while they enjoyed the sunny and good weather, I snapped a few shots.

I had a few staged ones and a few natural ones, but with the grass in need of a trim, it was hard to get good natural pictures of the tortoises.

I wanted to get pictures of all four tortoises together, showing their carapaces and colors.

Below, you can see them in order from right to left- Yertle (Brazilian red foot), Scuttle (Northern red foot), Uno (Brazilian), and Lui (Columbian). 

Lui may not keep the name, but for now, that's what I'm calling him. I thought he fit the name, but now that I'm getting to see him with the others, it just isn't him... I mean, that's not saying the Yertle is a Yertle, but that name just stuck. Lui is just a gender-specific name, that I'm not sure I want to keep associated with the tortoises, since it will be a while until I will know the gender.

Here's one of the natural shots that I took. This is Yertle trying to hide in the grass.
