Life Cycle: The female tortoise digs a hole in the ground and lays up to 20 leathery eggs each the size of a tennis ball. She then covers the nest and leaves. The eggs take 4-8 months to hatch and the young tortoises then have to fend for themselves. They take 20 to 30 years to reach maturity and can reach up to 500 Pounds in weight. They feed on a wide variety of plants such as cactuses and fruit. A Galapagos Tortoise may live as long as 200 years.
