Reptiles On Postcards

Let's begin with a GPU (Genuinely Postally Used) "linen" postcard of Galapagos Tortoises at a zoo in Miami, Florida, USA, postmarked 30.Nov.19()6.

It is easier to find this postcard's image than it is to find hard information about these tortoises!

Q/ Nobody told PETA about the rides?
