Very cool! I've never seen an albino tortoise of any kind. When I read the headline I thought well I'm glad they're breeding giants anyway! And if the public gets excited about seeing an albino one, they're more likely to care about conserving them. After seeing the video, nice to see that they're part of a conservation programme! What a cute pair of babies. They have a lot of growing to do!
