They are called "Galapagos tortoises." They breathe through their mouth or nostrils, filling their lungs which are located on their backs.

Note that people often get the name wrong and call tortoises "turtles." Turtles are water-dwelling (either sea or fresh water), have flatter shells for swimming, and are omnivorous. Tortoises are land-dwelling, are vegetarian, and have dome-shaped shells.
