The Galapagos tortoises are the largest reptiles (can measure 1.5 meters long and weigh 250 kilos) and can live more than 150 years. His face I really like, is a sweet and cute face. I believe that these tortoises have many adaptive features that have protected its, shell should be really safe.
There are tortoises that prefer damp places with abundant grass and other dry places with many cacti.
Now there are only 11 of the 15 types of sea Galapagos tortoises about 15,000 exist. The Ecuadorian government has protected this species since 1970 because they are endangered.
Can sleep up to 16 hours, your day ends at 17:00 hrs.
To keep warm or sheltered usually sleep surrounded by bushes or mud.
The greatest concentrations of tortoises in Galapagos are found in the Volcan Alcedo on Isla Isabela and in the mountains of Isla Santa Cruz.
the tortoises are very special animals.
