It eats mainly leafy plants and flowers and fruit. It is quite a fussy eater. It is a herbivore.

∙ 14y agoThey're called "Galapagos tortoises." They are vegetarian and eat fresh grasses, but also enjoy "poison apples," which are toxic to humans, guava and water fern, but also eat cactus, leaves, vines, and other fruit.
A lot of people mistakenly call tortoises "turtles." A turtle is water-dwelling (either sea or fesh water), omnivorous and flat shelled, while tortoises are land-dwelling, vegetarian, and have dome-shaped shells. Also, tortoises are really, really slow (average speed for a Galapagos tortoise is .18 mph!) and turtles are actually surprisingly fast.
