In this picture taken on October 12, 2019, two Asian giant tortoises mate at the Turtle Conservation Centre at a forest reserve in?Rajendrapur, some 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of capital Dhaka. - The newly hatched tortoises take their first steps in a small box, their feet barely visible under bony shells. These little giants -- among 41 babies born to several Asian Forest Tortoises brought together at a conservation park in Bangladesh -- carry the weight of their species on their backs.
