The Galapagos tortoise is the largest extant tortoise. It is simply a small mobile bunker, it is 1 to 2 meters long, the adult elephant tortoise male is larger than the female, if the shell is turned upside down like a child's bath, the life expectancy is estimated to reach 200 years. Anyway, it should have seen generations of keepers alive and liked to eat cacti and fruits, pineapples, and grasses. Probably means that there are fruits that can come first, and if there is no fruit, you can only eat grass and live in a drier environment.
It is also a very slow-moving animal, only able to move 260 meters per hour. It is found only on the 14 islands of the Galapagos Islands. Some rare tortoises have become extinct, and now the only remaining precious protected animals, the extinction of this species and colonizers have an important relationship, it should be said that most of the extinct animals and colonizers have a little relationship.
