A Brazilian tortoise, especially a yellow-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis denticulatus)..
The most popular of all is the jabuti (or Yauti, as it is pronounced in the Tupy language). It is a large turtle, much appreciated as food. Short-legged, slow, weak, and silent, the jabuti in the Amazon tradition is like the fox in the European tales.
The deer gave up the race to the jabuti. The deer then offered to have a trial of strength with the jabuti.
Again, the rabbit would try harder, run faster, and pass the jabuti once more, but no matter how hard he tried or how fast he ran, when he came around the corner, again and again the jabuti was in the lead.
The Jabuti is identical with Brother Terrapin. The man carried the Jabuti to his house, put him in a box, and went out. By and by the Jabuti began to sing, just as Brother Babbit did. The man's children listened, and the Jabuti stopped.
