I have completed an oil painting of that particular tortoise and would like to know if it is male or female and if it has a name, what it might be. Thank you. <em>Moderator's note: We'll forward your question to our curator's office.</em> Can you tell me the name of the largest desert tortoise that is in the San Diego Zoo?

Now I can add sexing a desert tortoise to my list of abilities. Thank You.
