## Caption

Would you like your tort small or child-sized? And by that, I mean the size of a child 🐢

At ~100 years of age, Calvin is considered a full-size adult tortoise. Galapagos tortoises reach full size after about 40 years and can reach a weight of 500 lbs. One day this 8-year-old tiny tort kid will be the same size as his large counterparts, but until then, he will continue to eat his greens so he can Galapa-grow as big and strong as Calvin.
