300/365
Aldabra Tortoise

This guy lives at the Abilene, Texas zoo.  He's huge.  This species of tortoise can live up to 150 years and weigh as much as 550 lbs and it is the 2nd largest tortoise in existence.  The Galapagos tortoise is the only one that's larger.  
It was grazing peacefully on the grass in its enclosure.  They eat grasses and woody plants but have been known to eat meat when it's available.  According to Google there are only 200,000 left in the world today.
