Sulctas are the third largest tortoise species in the world, and the largest mainland species. Adults usually grow to 24-36 inches long. Full grown males can weigh nearly 200 pounds and be close to 3 feet in length. Females tend to be smaller, but may still tip the scales at close to 100 pounds. I do not know how big they can get, but the largest Sulcata Tortise ever recorded was 240 pounds.
