Australia: The 63-year-old Australian Galapagos Tortoise called Hugo, is brought for its annual weight check up at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby.
The weight assessment process of the tortoise is being carried out once a year.
This time, his massive 366-pound body is carried by four men and a self-propelled vehicle in an effort to take him to the industrial scale for his health assessment.
This year, he weight is two pounds more than that of last year.
Hugo is often fed with nutritious food like carrots and other vegetables by its keeper in the reptile park. For enjoying his delicious food items he often brings his head out of the thick enclosure in which he has been living safe.
The life expectancy of a Galapagos Tortoise is up to 180 years.
