The Galapagos Tortoise is one of the largest tortoise species in the world, native to the Galapagos Islands. These tortoises can weigh over 500 pounds and live for more than 100 years. They have a distinctive dome-shaped shell that varies in size and shape depending on their habitat, which helps them adapt to different environments. Galapagos Tortoises are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, leaves, and fruits. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds and maintain vegetation. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect these unique creatures from threats such as habitat loss and invasive species.
