I saw a pair of these animals breeding at the Oakland Zoo on Sunday, October 21, 2007. You never saw such a crowd of mesmerized, fascinated, and horrified zoogoers. Let's just say that the male gets very vocal in a way I would not have thought physiologically possible. I just hope I can get this memory out of my mind someday.

Naturally occuring or the result of human intervention? This is a useful point that should be addressed in the article.-- Wetman ( talk) 13:09, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
At the Cape May Zoo, the signs refer to this tortoise as Geochelone gigatea, which contradicts this article and Geochelone. Does the zoo have old or incorrect information, or does Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.61.91 ( talk) 20:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
I am proposing that in light of the recent ICZN decision and a stable name in place now that we bring all these articles on the Aldabran Tortoise under one article. Namely this one. I will put merge tags in the other articles. Comment anyone? Faendalimas talk 01:58, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

I am rather surprised that while listing such small introductions such as to Zanzibar, there is no mention whatsoever of the significant population of the Aldabra sp on La Digue, the 3rd largest island in Seychelles. It is the most readily visible population on the Seychelles as far as visitors go. Ptilinopus ( talk) 23:13, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
If European sailors exterminated them, they were presumably used for something as they don't appear to be dangerous. Are they used for food? Tortoise shell? Bill ( talk) 00:42, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
