亞馬遜河發現世界上最大的陸龜。
它的年齡大約529歲/身高59英尺/重量800磅或362.87公斤，難以置信的驚人...
紅色鑲邊的烏龜也被稱為紅腳或紅腿陸龜、巴西巨龜、南美森林龜，以及當地的名字，如morrocoy ， woyamou或wayamo ，或jabuta的一些變化。許多地方取的名字都與紅腿陸龜類似。這些類型的大尺寸烏龜總是在亞馬遜河發現，大部分被發現在（秘魯，巴西，哥倫比亞，委內瑞拉等）的成體往往可達到3米的長度，但是這隻比以往發現的大上許多。母龜擁有又大又平的甲殼，體型和數量比雄龜大且多。成年體完全只吃素食。
他們的主要飲食是一種植物，原產於巴西的CHTAC省地區。這種植物的花中都有一個基因能促進增加細胞壽命，而使牠們能延年益壽。烏龜會在牠們的生命週期中不斷成長直至牠們死亡的那一天。進食這種花使牠們能夠成長到巨大的規模，同時牠們也護衛此種植物生長。
此種烏龜於1892年由Haughton首次發現，也是最後一個曾在本世紀看到的人。這是一種瀕臨滅絕的物種，在一些國家和地區受到保護。

World’s largest tortoise found in amazon river. Its age around 529 years old / height-59 feet/ weight-800 pounds OR 362.87 kg incredible… Amazing
The red rimmed tortoise is also called the red-foot or red-legged tortoise, the Brazilian giant tortoise, or South American forest tortoise, as well as local names such as morrocoy, woyamou or wayamo, or some variation of jabuta. Many of the local names are shared with the similar red-footed tortoise. These types of large size tortoise are always found in the Amazon River, most of them are found in (Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and so on) the Adults often reach 3m in length, however this one is much larger. The tortoise Females have wide flattened shells, are larger and more numerous than the males tortoise, the Adult tortoise Arraus feed entirely on plant food.
Their main diet is a plant that is native to the Chtac Province region of Brazil. These flowers of this plant have a gene in them which promotes increased cellular life thus allowing those that consumed them to have a greater lifespan. Amongst the native inhabitants are turtle’s that grew constantly in their lifespan until the day they died. The introduction of this flower into their diet thus allowed them to grow to immense sizes and they served as local guardians to the plant.
It was first discovered by the modern world in 1892 by Haughton who was the last person to had seen it in the century.
The nesting habits of this species are similar to those of sea turtles. Just like sea turtles they gather meet in huge numbers so they can travel to suitable nesting areas. The female tortoise lay their eggs on sandbanks that are exposed where there is only dry season but there are relatively few such sites. The females timing is to come out on the sandbanks at night time to lay their eggs and go back to the sea, which can number anywhere from 90 to 100 soft-shelled eggs. and they then return to their feeding grounds which they belong to. The young when hatched are around 5 cm long dart directly for the water, but they emerge to the attentions of many predators so they can only about five percent ever reach the adult feeding grounds. this it is an endangered species and is protected in some country and areas.
