Passports and vetting
The second part of the process in getting the tortoises back to Toliara is getting the tortoise passports and vetting. For the tortoise passport photos, the vet must take a picture of each tortoise on a black-and-white checkerboard background from above and they will be able to recognize the tortoises from the streaks and dings (dents) on the top of the shell. The tortoises also need to be looked at by vets to make sure they do not have diseases that they could pass on to other tortoises.
