Galapagos tortoise don't swim?

Dang I just built a nice enclosure with a swimming area against the glass for guests to see. Ah well bridge to no where.

Anyone know when the fish DLC comes out?

They live in a place surrounded by water...

Any other Galapagos animals I could use that like to swim? I don't see any and you can't seem to sort animals by region.

Only on their backs, but you have to attach sails.

If they could swim, the species wouldn't be stuck on the Galapagos Islands.

Tortoise, not turtle. Tortoise = strictly land. Turtle = Semi aquatic to full aquatic.

Bears are strictly land till you know they take a swim.

But hey I'm just a nerd gamer not a Zoologist. 1st world problems...

Tortoises don't swim I'm afraid. You can check land and water requirements for each animal in Zoopedia.

Thanks for the great tips!

Since i made this enclosure with rock walls I was thinking I could expand it a little to also include a croc. Since neither are good climbers I could use more rocks to make a spot for the tortoises to drink from but limit the crocs from coming onshore to eat them.
