Matthew KirkFollowingRemembering Sarge: ABQ’s gentle giantSarge, the massive Aldabra tortoise who charmed ABQ BioPark visitors for over two decades, has passed away. Weighing in at more than 225 pounds and likely over 50 years old, Sarge was famous for his mischievous personality—always sneaking snacks and showing off for the ladies. He started life as a pet before finding a forever home at the zoo in 2001. After battling health issues, the BioPark made the tough call to say goodbye. For many in Albuquerque, Sarge was more than just an animal—he was a beloved part of our community. What are your favorite memories of seeing Sarge? #Pets #ABQBioPark #SargeTheTortoise20Share
