	Know Seychelles before you go for Safari \| OnSafari.com
		The Seychelles Archipelago occupies 400,000 square km (150,000 square miles) of the Indian Ocean northeast of Madagascar and contains 115 islands and islets.
		The isolated nature of the Seychelles has given rise to the evolution of many unique species of flora and fauna, including the coco-de-mer palm and unique varieties of orchid, giant tortoise, gecko, chameleon and ‘flying fox’ (fruitbat).
		Although the local currency is the Seychelles Rupee, visitors are required to use only foreign currency when making payments in hotels, guesthouses and any other hospitality-related expenses such as hiring of cars or boats, services of tour operators and travel agents, patronage of casinos and domestic transfers within Seychelles.

	Day Gecko: WhoZoo
		Geckos are typically found in a milder climate with an average temperature of 65 degrees F, and with a 50 - 85% humidity level.
		Geckos wiggle back and forth when they walk because of the fact that in order to lift their foot from the wall surface, it must curl each toe upward from the front to "unhook" its villosities.
		I learned that this is because day geckos are active during the day, and the other geckos are nocturnal which only need small pupil openings to see since it is dark when they are active.

		This may be the most difficult day gecko to sex correctly because males and females are similar in size and general appearance.
		The eggs typically take 56-71 days to hatch when incubated at 82-84 F plus or minus 2 F. Neonates are greyish green with a rust brown, irregular-shaped marking on top of the head and many small white dots are present on the body, legs, and upper surface of the feet.
		As is typical with most day gecko species, the other layer of skin is shed and eaten within a short period of time after the lizard hatches.

		Now imagine that during the other half of the day you were exposed to the heat of the sun, dehydrating on that same rocky surface or sandy floor-not an easy life.
		Ronny Alcindor, our Seychelles observer from the Ministry of Environment, informed us that it is currently whale shark season here - the time of year when plankton blooms are most abundant in the area, which in turn attracts many whale sharks.
		Part of the reason was that there were almost no predators that threatened them apart from the odd lizard or gecko that may have destroyed some eggs or even killed a few young chicks.

	Aldabra
		The establishment of a settlement in the granitic Seychelles in the 18th Century saw the advent of frequent, artisanal fishing trips to Aldabra (Stoddart 1971a).
		The Giant Tortoise is perhaps Aldabra's most renowned resident, being the last representative of a taxon that was once spread across the entire region (Coe and Swingland 1984).
		Subsistence and commercial exploitation is believed to have rendered all other giant tortoise species in the region extinct by the mid 19th Century (Coe and Swingland 1984), and very nearly exterminated the Aldabran population (Stoddart 1971a).

	Giant tortoise
		Giant tortoises grow steadily for the first 40 years of their lives and, given enough food, can weigh up to 254 kg.
		Conservation news: Giant tortoises were found on all islands in the western Indian Ocean until Mauritius was colonised in the 1600s and an increasing number of settlers and explorers visited the Seychelles islands removing and killing tortoises.
		It was thought that all Seychelles tortoises became extinct around 120 years ago, with the exception of the Aldabran species, until reports of oddly-shaped captive tortoises prompted a re-examination of their identity.
