Galapagos Islands

They're called "Galapagos Tortoises," and they live in the Galapagos Islands, a set of 13 major islands and many smaller inlets that are located west of Equador in South America.

Note that tortoises are commonly confused for turtles. Turtles are water-dwelling, omnivorous, and have flat shells, and tortoises are land-dwelling, vegetarian, and have domed shells.

Yes. The Hermann Tortoise (Testudeo Hermanni) or Russian Tortoise as it is often called is predated by wolves, rats, boars, weasles and badgers. They are most at risk when young.

The Galapagos Islands are in the Pacific Ocean.

The Galapagos Turtles are not actually endangered. They are just vunerable. They used to be endangered when the introduction of predators, grazers by humans, and hunter caused their populations fell. In 1946, the Euadorian government listed them a protected species. In 1970 it was illegal to export the tortoises. In 1971, it was illegal to in any way affect a natural object in the National Park.

he thought that some of the birds were wrens ,some were warbles,and some were Blackbirds

The Galapagos Islands are owned by Ecuador!

it has adapted a long neck to reach higher plants and the galapogos tortoise also can go up to a year without water because it can store water just like a camel because it lives in the drier part of the galapogos islands

PLEASE DON'T CHANGE!!!!i need this up for two weeks.....ill write when you can change it,ok? PLEASE! Im begging you!LOL!nono,please dont change it Ecuadors islands.have animals so tame you can feed them,these islands are full of tall trees and Beautiful wildflowers:)

The human-wildlife conflict revolves around the problems that occur when wild animals have a negative impact on humans and/or their resources and humans have a negative impact on animals by destroying their habitat. This conflict has been going on since the first humans walked the earth.

They have no natural enemies on the Galapagos Islands and they live for hundreds of years. Evidently, the environment is ideal for them. They have plenty of food and they don't get sick. And their genes allow them to grow very large.

the sea turtle can actually drink salt water. there are salt glands in the back of their head that removes salt. when a sea turtle comes on land to lay it's eggs, the salt that was removed from the water will come out as tears that will keep their eyes from getting dry.

The classification is as follows:

KINGDOM: Animalia

PHYLUM: Chordata

CLASS: Reptilia

ORDER: Testudines

FAMILY: Testudinidae

GENUS: Geochelone

Birds of prey and humans. Birds can reach into turtle shells. And humans can depleat water and ponds they live in. Sad right?

The numbers of birds with different beak shapes are changed by natural selection in response to the available food suply.

I presume you mean the Galapados tortoises? They live up to 200 years. One recently died that was born in 1830.

Tropical, Warm, Hot, Dry. Their winters are like spring no snow :(

The difference between their beaks

Humans had visited the Galapagos Islands as far back as the first documented visit by the Bishop of Panama in 1535 (almost 300 years earlier) . There have been finds of Incan artifacts, but not of settlements, so they might not have had permanent homes there.

natural selection

There is a diverse amount of foods available at the Galapagos islands. There is a variety of seafood, as well as root produce such as onions and yucca. There is some sea-related produce they use such as seaweed and sea cucumber.

beak structure

During his visit to the Galápagos Islands, Charles Darwin observed significant variations in the flora and fauna across different islands, particularly in the finch species, which exhibited unique beak shapes adapted to their specific food sources. He noted the distinct characteristics of tortoises and the diverse adaptations of marine iguanas. These observations contributed to his formulation of the theory of natural selection, as he recognized how environmental factors influenced the evolution of species. Darwin's findings highlighted the importance of geographic isolation in the development of biodiversity.
