Description
Tortoise by D Hackett
The Galapagos tortoise is the largest living species of tortoise. Modern Galapagos tortoises can weigh up to 919 lb. Today, giant tortoises exist on only two remote archipelagos: the Galapagos Islands 1000 km due west of mainland Ecuador; and Aldabrachelys gigantea of Aldabra in the Indian Ocean, 700 km east of Tanzania.
The Galapagos tortoises are native to seven of the Galapagos Islands. With lifespans in the wild of over 100 years, it is one of the longest-lived vertebrates.
