Choco Carr, the 107-lb. African spurred (sulcata) tortoise, was brought to our Zoo Med service from Kentwood, La., after impaling itself on a metal post and receiving a deep soft tissue wound under the shell near the right hind limb. The infected wound is being treated with topical wound care, antibiotics, nutritional support, calcium supplementation, pain and anti-inflammatory management, daily outdoor walks, supervised grazing, and hyperbaric chamber therapy. Geaux, Choco and team! #WeTeach #W

African spurred tortoises (a.k.a. sulcata tortoises) are the third largest tortoise species in the world. They are native to the Sahara Desert and are excellent diggers. Theodore, our African spurred tortoise, was found wandering around a local neighborhood. Today, you can find him eating and patrolling his outdoor domain that he shares with Emma and Charles (Aldabra tortoises). | The Creature Conservancy
