Animals of Guyana: Red-footed tortoises are known for their bright orange, yellow, or red scales on their legs, head, and tail — like they’re always dressed for vibes! Found across the Amazon Basin, including Guyana, Brazil, Venezuela, Suriname, and Bolivia. They love humid forests and savannah edges. Their carapace (shell) patterns darken and deepen over time, making older tortoises look more dramatic and distinguished. | Visit Guyana
