Everything about the American badger is made for digging. They have small heads, thick necks, and powerful shoulders. They are built low to the ground. They have long, curved claws on their front feet and short shovel-like claws on their rear feet. Their front feet are also partially webbed, keeping toes close together for even stronger digging. Their eyes are protected from flying dirt and dust by an inner lid that drops down when needed. They have loose skin that enables them to turn around in

5.4K views · 766 reactions | Our Aldabra tortoises spend the winter in our primate building, where they have more indoor space. They share an enclosure with our lemurs, who have recently discovered that they can catch a ride if they are patient enough. Tom, a male Aldabra tortoise, weighs just over 555 pounds and can easily carry a lemur, which on average only weighs about 6-10 pounds.  Keeper Sierra | Henry Vilas Zoo | Facebook

They are particularly vulnerable to predators during this time because until their keratin hardens, they appear completely white, making them highly visible! | Henry Vilas Zoo | Facebook
