They're called "Galapagos tortoises." They need warm temperatures, lots of roaming space, and plenty of plants and vegetation to chew on. They need about 2 hours a day to bask in the sun because they are cold blooded, and they need shallow water to bathe in.

Note that tortoises are often confused for turtles. Turtles are water-dwelling (either fresh water or sea water) are omnivorous and have flatter shells, and tortoises are land-dwelling (though they still bathe in shallow water), are vegetarian and have dome-shaped shells.
