My mom's name Lorna, and I named my baby girl Lorna as well ☺️

[@NerdyGlassesart]

I love how Darwin secretly tries to kill Kenan slowly the whole time.

[@AvengerII]

They have that look on their faces. They're just waiting for their opportunity like the Chinese box turtles!

Darwin may be an evil mastermind in disguise! :)

[@MamaJ1997]

Nostradamus has such a beautiful face and personality that I can see why he’s your favorite. All of your animals and your property are beautiful. Thank you for welcoming us into your world!

[@carpediem.9]

Nostradamus is my fave too haha ^^ he has such a kind pretty face :))

[@KampKenan]

Agreed Sophie!🤠

[@shamiksathe5140]

I already love tortoises. These 3 just intensified the love.

[@KampKenan]

Awesome🤠

[@Shaden0040]

Hey Kenan, I was watching the Garden State Turtles channel and he showed a fantastic idea to give your big tortoises exercise. Take a suet bird feeder and fill it with vatious greens and hang it just above the top of the tortoises shells so they have to stretch to reach them. Genius idea! Thought you might like to try it.

[@viking8611]

I have never met kenan but his videos make me feel like we live together. Love from India 🇮🇳

[@KampKenan]

🙏🤠

[@Shaden0040]

An Atoll is a volcanic island with a coral reef around it, while the volcanic part has worn down to below sea level and the coral reef has grown to capture sand and soil and become the remainder of the island above sea level. Usualy the island reef takes the shape of a irregularly shaped ring around the original volcano.

[@Annie_Annie__]

Cool! I knew an atoll almost always had a lagoon in the middle but didn’t know why. That’s fascinating.

[@BLACK0718BEAUTY]

Gd morning Kenan I’m so happy you are sharing this video with your gigantic babies I wish you could show them more often ❤️❤️❤️🐢🐢🐢

[@KampKenan]

Good to hear Tanya. We’ll show more of em for ya🤠

[@bluedeva]

I remember you building The galops and Nostradamus’s pool, many moons ago. It’s so great to see how Darwin now climbs all over the place. I love that even tho Socrates is the smallest of the three she doesn’t back down pushing her way thru to get to her food 🐢🐢🐢

[@r3ptileguy406]

20:34 Darwin showing his love for how good Kenan tastes

[@RIPPER334]

Looked like somebody was about to get chomped!

[@sarkavajnerova2817]

I dont have any tortoise, i have just 3 cats and will get ball python but i love look at them. My friend got leopard tortoise year ago and it grows nicely. I am able to give him some tips thanks to Kenan so i am glad i found him around 3 years ago. =)

[@KampKenan]

Love to hear it🤠

[@Lionheart_1]

Would love to see some more sulcata tortoise content if possible!

[@ZoeBellCake]

Darwin is such a cranky old lady. I love it.

[@marijevangoor8583]

I don't have anny reptilels😂😂😂 But i love Kenan's video's. Lots of love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱😘😘😘😘😘

[@Galactic_rats]

I love how sassy Darwin is she’s such a character.

[@gd2234_]

Is there a genetic database for Galapagos and Aldabra tortoise? If so you should definitely have them added!

[@Annie_Annie__]

When I was a kid the zoo in my city let small kids ride the Galapagos and Aldabra tortoises. I remember riding them. I’m really glad they don’t do that anymore. I can’t imagine that was good for their backs. I don’t even think that zoo has Galapagos tortoises anymore, but they do still have Aldabra tortoises. So, kids can’t ride the tortoises, but they can feed them. That’s a much better and safer interaction for all involved.

[@maryvallas772]

Aldabra just have the cutest faces, how could anyone resist?

[@David-xg8qn]

After watching your videos for years I've finally made the jump to get a tortoise! I now own two herman's tortoises and I'm so glad that I got them! Thank you so much for introducing me to keeping reptiles.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Love these guys...they like cuddling. Nostradamus is a great name!

[@KampKenan]

🤠

[@Varmitlife]

You just memed yourself stroking his head saying...yeeeaaahhh! lol

[@KampKenan]

😜

[@gerileemakes]

I loved seeing them swarm toward that cacti! Lol

[@KampKenan]

🤠

[@kellywalsh6735]

Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge Kenan! What a wonderful world :)

[@KampKenan]

Thank you Kelly🙏🤠

[@vicaroo001]

I alllllways love me some "tortoise time" --- especially with Darwin!

[@shanafredlake312]

Your tortoises look amazing. A testiment to your care. Having worked with 15 aldabra and 7 galaps in zoos, I agree they are amazing. We have some super friendy galaps at the Dallas Zoo and if you ever get to the Dallas area hit me up. My reptile world started because of a 550 lb Aladabra named Barnaby. Also love the cyclura. Thanks for the amazing videos and great animal care

[@c.a.5808]

Dear Kenan, I loved this U-TUBE video! 😍 Yes... personality, in a receptive tortoise, can indeed spoil you in having a few favorites 😉! You're very blessed 🙏 to have the opportunity, to care and enjoy these two species of tortoises. What I like best... is your easy-going nature and you're ability to drive home the importance of the amount of time and do diligence required to properly care for these amazing, God-given creations. Those fortunate enough to receive the proper permits to acquire them, and their unique requirements, as well as the Maintenance Costs, Diet, to keep them healthy and sound, and growning properly, can't be underestimated! To appreciate the logistics in their transport and the importance of availability of a great Herp.Veterinarian (*on call, when things can, and do happen). As you touched on the required space and security, in keeping and protecting, such a valuable investment. As that pales... with the initial cost or investment of time required in keeping these species. Thank you also for educating those, who may think, just because they can afford one... but, don't take into account or realize, the many factors, that also can effect their proper growth, and development. Including Climate conditions, and locality with-in the state🇺🇸 they intend to raise it in. No animal should be physically hindered in their need for movement and natural sunlight from the keeper because of their local weather conditions. Husbandry is and always will be an on-going art, of learning and balancing for these long lived species, and their proper development. Sir, I truly appreciate your service to your animals and to the younger generations of those yet to come. As well as the young hobbyists who are discovering, these beautiful reptiles. All that said, It's a huge responsibility for their success... and in our ability for the government to allow and continue to write any state required "Permits, for us to keep and raise them! God bless, and thank you Kenan, keep up the great work! From an old cowgirl, 🏇 who was licensed with the Dept of Fish and Game in Rescue. In the High Desert 🏜 of So. Ca.

[@KampKenan]

Wow, we are speechless. Out response can’t possibly do your comment justice. Nothing but the most sincere thank for your kind words🙏🙏🙏🙏🤠

[@CricketsMa]

They are beautiful! Loved spending some time with them.

[@KampKenan]

🙏 🤠

[@Nina_Sophia]

Oh i just love them! 😍 You have the best job in the world, getting to interact with such amazing and beautiful creatures. ❤🐢

[@vicaroo001]

TOTALLY!

[@Sarragota]

For those who are looking for the scientific name of the spineless prickly pear, it is Opuntia cabanapa "Ellisiana".

[@TheMONARCHMONKEY]

I agree with you these are my FAVORITES ❤ ALDABRAS then Galops❤ for me I recently got a baby Aldabra he’s so tiny but doing well (he or she )

[@TypoHaven]

Wow 4 full minutes of socrates drinking that water 🌊.. I've never seen a turtle drink let alone so long I was worried it drowned for a second lol

[@LuqmanMal]

for me this is special episode love those 3

[@coolhive2941]

After Slinky, the giant tortoises are my favorite. Looking forward to a Slinky update, Kenan !!! Please!!!!

[@CalmDownLevelUp]

I got a leopard 4 years ago and was inspired by your videos to get him. His name is Gibby and he's awesome

[@kodystewart3255]

Awesome video!!! Just wanted to say that you inspired me to rescue a redfoot six months ago!

[@samleonard2557]

I have a 10 year plan for getting Aldabras. I just need to buy the right property and build a good enclosure. Until then, I'll just love my baby sulcatas. Great video!

[@KampKenan]

Awesome Sam!

[@karyannfontaine8757]

A beautiful video learning about the Galapagos and Aldabra Tortoises. I like the history of Darwin's observations of how they and their shells evolved to obtain food. You do have a wonderful and symbiotic bond with Nostradamus. I shall never own a tortoise because I could not meet their needs here in Connecticut.

[@KampKenan]

Thank you Kary Ann🤠

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Thank you for these videos. Fascinated with these giants.

[@mlapointej]

Of all of your animals my eight year old loves Darwin the best he is very happy to see that she's healing up nice.

Hi Kenan, how's life. I am waiting for a baby tortoise video too😁 You have really taught me how to take care of my animals too. Thank you

[@rogerparker329]

Hi Kenan, If it helps I believe the spineless prickly pear is Opuntia cacanapa ‘Ellisiana’ if that helps. I have just acquired a couple pads to propagate here in the UK to use in my bioactive vivariums.

[@412bob]

Kenan I just want to say your an amazing person and huge inspiration..also I was watching a video of u doing a backflip on a dirt bike with Travis pastrana.. keep up all the amazing work you do.. have a great day.

[@KampKenan]

Thank you!🤠

[@belizeguy]

For me, personally, I try hard NOT to pick a favorite animal, be it Reptile, Mammal or Bird. Many times I have, something bad happened to that one (Especially Chickens!) and I felt terrible. It would be hard not to love extra on Nostradamus. What a character. Thanks for consistently good Content!!

[@KampKenan]

Thanks belizeguy, i hear ya on the heartache part🤠

[@belizeguy]

@@KampKenan Agreed!!

[@Rknowles813]
