ABC7's friends at the Shell Factory brought in red-footed tortoises for this week's Creature Feature.
Red-footed tortoises are a medium-sized tortoise from northern South America. They are the most popular to keep as pets, but over-collection has caused them to be vulnerable to extinction. Red-footed tortoises are omnivorous and tropical. These tortoises will be up for adoption when they are older.
Upcoming event at the Shell Factory:
- Calling all Parrot Heads! Jimmy Buffet Day is happening on Aug. 30. Sing all your favorite Jimmy Buffet songs from 3-8 p.m.
- Test your knowledge with Trivia with UnCorked Entertainment on Mondays.
