During an Adult Zoo Camp session, one of the Galapagos tortoises in the Zoo's Reptile House was just a few inches from my camera, with no barrier between.Wow!

You're welcome! It does kinda look like there's a nuchal scute at this angle you filmed it at, but it's just a marking on the one scute.

Goodness! I know how to tell the difference by looking above the neck - I don't know what I was seeing in this video!
Thanks - as you can see, I have corrected the video title!
Please always let me know when you see a mistake or anything that needs to be corrected. I really appreciate that.
This is a Galapagos tortoise, not an Aldabra. It is evident by the lack of a nuchal scute on the shell over the head.
