## Caption

forrest.galante's Instagram takeover continues today! The #Aldabra giant #tortoise forrest.galante has found here, is one of the largest species of tortoises left in the world. They come from a tiny #atoll in the #Seychelles and with no natural predators, they are completely unfazed by humans. These gentle giants were nearly hunted to #extinction as a food source, but thankfully are protected today.
