Here’s the full video of the winking galapagos tortoise hatchling 🖤 Comment if you can spot his egg tooth! 🐢 . . (The reason he has 2 scutes with green paint on his carapace, aka top shell, is to indicate what clutch this baby came from/identification) . . . #turtlelover #tortoisesofinstagram #instagood #videooftheday #tortoise #babyturtle #babyanimals #cuteanimals #cutenessoverload

Megan says the green paint on his carapace (top shell) is to indicate what clutch this baby came from.

According to her, this species is an endangered Galapagos tortoise, one of many the sanctuary has bred for conservation purposes.
