I've known this Redfoot for 30 years. She belongs to a long time friend and fellow tortoise enthusiast. He acquired her in the mid 1970's from an older couple who wanted to ensure she would continue to be cared for after they died. Their adult children could not take her. She was already her current adult size when the couple purchased her from a market while on a trip to Colombia. She was being sold as food. She traveled back to Canada with them in a basket.

They made this trip in 1938.
