Many years ago I saw these guys for sale at every pet store in my area. I thought, "What cute little babies! I want one." Then I went to the library did research, called the zoos in my area asking about husbandry, talked to the pet shop owners (this was before the internet). After discovering it would need it's own room, a dedicated outside area, special diet, lighting, would become much larger than that cute little tortoise that fit in my palm, not to mention it would outlive me....I decided it was not for me. Still think they're awesome, though!
Keep doing this. It is a fantastic thing that you are doing. I have been noticing that other zoos are doing this video blog engagement with people. It is crucial that people become aware that animals are individuals who have every right to be respected and protected on par with people. This is a wonderful thing that you are doing. I hope in the future we can hear more voices both the keepers and their four legged friends.
"...that animals are individuals who have every right to be respected and protected on par with people." ... that non-human animals .... with human animals. * And they don't have 4 legs. They have 2 rear limbs and 2 front limbs, just every other vertebrate.
Somebody made a "tortoise scrubber", I saw the photo on UA-cam. Stiff floor brushes attached to a little arch, just a LITTLE too small for his tortoise, but it's built that way on purpose, so it "scrubs" the tortoise as they pass through. They love it. Go in, then move back and forth getting scrubbed, or, massaged. Just an idea for your zoo.
Tortoises are amazingly fast and quiet. They are stealthy movers, not slow movers. My Sonoran Desert tortoise can disappear in the blink of an eye. I need to put a clapper on her!
What a fantastic and fun video ! I love tortoises and have the pleasure to see the giant tortoises in Galapagos in person. These fearless goats are friendly and mischievous. I love to see the interaction of these animals ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love the look on people’s faces when I tell them tortoises are faster than you think...and they can climb... and move furniture... and they’re pros at hide and seek.
this is a brilliant idea for a series and it is eternally entertaining. every animal they see, every encounter is eternally entertaining. brilliant series.
Aww how cute lol. I always say that but all the animals are so neat. Ruth has the most prettiest eyes. Love to see everything the zoo shares. Thank you.
Show me any of these animals that has such a nice fulfilling life in the wild. I think modern zoos perform a great service by acting as animal ambassadors. They take good care of their animals and allow the public to come learn about the different species, which in turn makes them care about preserving these animals in the wild.
“It’s coming right ‘tortoise’”! Genius.
Andrea Sharlene haha bicecpun indeed.
anyone else notice the weird sex joke at 3:37
Andrea Sharlene that's what I thought she said.
Andrea Sharlene ,
That was good!
Slow clap to all my punny friends out there.
They are probably like “whoa! Why is that rock moving!?”
The biggest icebreaker was for the goats to be able to stand on the tortoises and for tortoises not to mind. 🐐🐢🐐🐢
😘
Remember the name
Did anyone else notice that the lead tortoise keeper is named "SHELLEY"?! So fitting!
Look out when she's coming tortoise...
Brianne is actually hilarious with all her little quips! “Oh look, he’s coming right “tortoise”!” 😂
I require more of these goat videos for my survival.
Love this statement
😀

Tortoise: Man, I should not have had that extra serving of salad...
Goat: UBER!!
Best pun of the year: “He’s coming right tortoise!” 😂😂😂
Get away from the Choppa!
@British shorthair! No, it doesn't. Still don't get it.
@@tetsuo964 It does if you pronounce "tortoise" correctly.
@Dominus Providebit lol yes it does. If you pronounce not CORRECTLY it sounds like cimg right tortoise. (TOWARD US). Idiots...
Man, animals are just incredibly gorgeous aren't they?
Sometimes I'm just amazed at how much diverse life we have in this planet.

"OMG! Rocks can move! This changes everything!"
I love that she described the tortoise’s movement & speed as being *_"meaningful"_* instead of slow!🐢
I love how curious the tortoises were, one would think they would be uninterested in things, but they seem like they are very engaging critters!
It's like Jurassic Park, but more adorable.
It's Holocene Park...
All you people are so wonderful taking so much care on giving all these babies such a great!!!! Quality of life many blessings to you xx
Aw the elephants wanted to see the goats 💛🥰
The tortoises din’t seem to bother at all with the goats. The interaction from the goat’s perspective was entertaining, though.
Tortoise aren't slow...their movements are meaningful!👍🤠💟🐢
At First it was "the rock moves! What manner of witchcraft is this!"
became: "moving or not, it's a rock and I MUST stand upon it!"
haha!
Tortoise: Roomba for Goats!
Love all the tiny goats adventures!! ❤️👍
Thank You🤗💕 Love that take your animals visiting 👍🥰
I wondered if the goats would take a little Roomba ride! Too cute!
My kitty LOVES watching these videos!
thank you for sharing these videos. Brings so much joy and smiles!
I won’t lie. I’m obsessed with the Tiny Goats’ adventures!!!❤️
This is one of my favorite of this tiny goats meet other animals series. You all have the coolest jobs. Keep 'em coming!
Can you take on another turtle ours is out growing our yard? 🐢
Goat thought process:
Will it eat me? No.
Can I climb on it? Yes!
That is too funny!
Regardless of skill and ability, giving someone named Shelly the lead caregiver position for tortoises has gotta be some kind of joke, right?
This is education and cuteness rolled in one
This is my favorite channel on UA-cam. Thank you!
3:37 I think that tortoise is doing more than carrying that other one ;)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This is turtle-y awesome.
Every tortoise I've ever met LOVES a good massage.
Tortoises are magic carpets for goats .
Nice to see the goats interacting with another species. Usually they keep a distance and watch whatever animal they're visiting.
Damn these goats don’t know how good they got it! Very lucky! 🍀
Can't wait to visit Oregon's Zoo. 🙋
Shelly is a good name for a tortoise keeper.
Hahaha of course! Goats like scaling rocks! How cute! As a tortoise/turtle lover and owner, I highly approve 🥰
Binge watching these goat meets videos. Hoping others donate to the zoo. This is awesome
So damn cute! Love how they enjoy standing on top of things
This interaction was a success!
I'm learning more about other animals with each visit. YEAH!
I look forward to their next visit/video
Meaningful. That is awesome; i love it.
Nature and animals is amazing 💚😘🐢🐐...This is beautiful 🌿
I love this! Thank you! I share every one of them!
That was pretty cool loved the idea of enrichment for any animal
That was a good visit! Lots of fun for everyone! 🙂🐢🐐

Beautiful videos. 💛
YES!! I love this series. I can't wait to be able to visit them myself.
How cute. :3 It was nice seeing the kids getting to peacefully meet the African spurred tortoises. :)
2:14 Goat actually does a double take.
"Did that rock just sprout legs and... *Walk?* "
Never did I expect to see dwarf goats riding tortoises.
Goat: woah, a moving rock
They are adorable
Goat #1: "Ahhh! that rock is walking!" Goat #2 "I think I'll stop it by ...ooops! Nope, it's walking again!" :)
Tortoises are amazingly fast and quiet. They are stealthy movers, not slow movers. My Sonoran Desert tortoise can disappear in the blink of an eye. I need to put a clapper on her!
One of the cutest encounters😄
I love this series so much!
Ahhhh I thought maple and filbert were the highlight but this is GREAT
I love watching what goes on behind the scenes at the zoos. Please keep it up.
What a fantastic and fun video ! I love tortoises and have the pleasure to see the giant tortoises in Galapagos in person. These fearless goats are friendly and mischievous. I love to see the interaction of these animals ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

T'was this day that these goats found out about _taxis._
this is a brilliant idea for a series and it is eternally entertaining. every animal they see, every encounter is eternally entertaining. brilliant series.

i love this channel so much it makes me so happy!!
Tortoise are so cool.
We should all be like tortoise more.
What's even crazier is how well they got along, but they would never interact with each other in the wild due to geography
So cute!
That was so cool, it made me smile the whole time I watched it!
Nice video. Great work. Cheers. Picocluster.
The music at the beginning really fits these little goats personalities!
I absolutely love these videos!
Zoo keeper. Do you remember me?
Elephant. I'm a freaking elephant what do you think?

I love this series too...
Goats are gonna go back home and start playing with every big rock they see.

This might be my fav one so far
The tortoises look like an old married couple
I love it!!
I will be watching this again, and again☺
Love this one - I'd also love to see the tiny goats visit the baby mountain goats!
That is so funny and sweet.
now every time they see a big rock their going to investigate.
@2:14 WTF are yoooou?!!!!!! Oh ok I can stand on top of you.x
Old Tortoise: watching these young tortoises rush about just wears me out.
2:19
"A walking rock!"
Awe.. the Asian elephants❤️ and than the awesome tortoises💕❤️ I love these videos:) So cool how everyone interacts with the critters☺️
Goats and tortoises...life is good.

Pygmy goats are so majestic
So so cute love it
Nice foot stool or something...
Strange cats ride prehistoric Roomba!
1:02
There's a little sad face on the turtle snout.
Can you unsee it?
Hes coming right tortuous.
Thank you I really like watching goat videos
This is too cute!
