I don't know a lot about sulcata tortoises (aka African spurred toirtoises), but I found this info online: "The African spurred tortoise is the largest mainland tortoise, easily reaching 30 inches (76 centimeters) in length and well over 100 pounds (45 kilograms) in heft. Some males even reach 200 pounds (90 kilograms)! It is surpassed only by the island dweller tortoises from Aldabra and Galápagos." https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/african-spurred-tortoise
It's amazing to look at that little critter in your hand and realize she could grow up to be this big!
