Galapagos Islands

The birth of a new species of bird.

The distance between the above places is 2771 miles. This distance is point to point straight distance as seen on the map. The actual distance covered by a flight may vary according to the flight path chosen. Also this is not the airport to airport distance.

The Blue-footed Booby (Sula nebouxii), lives and breeds on the tropical and subtropical islands of the Pacific Ocean, such as the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.

The Galapagos Islands belong to the country of Ecuador in South America since 1830. The Galapagos Archipelago is located 600 miles to the west of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean.

Galapagos turtles, the largest land tortoises on Earth today; Darwin´s finches; the only penguin on the northern hemisphere; marine iguanas unique in their kind; flightless cormorants.

They'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.

idk sorry

dragons, especially in the Galapagos Islands.

Yes! They are called "Galapagos tortoises," by the way. They live in the Galapagos Islands, which are 13 main islands and many smaller islands, all of which are off the coast of Equador in South America. Galapagos tortoises are huge, the biggest tortoises alive today, getting to be up to 660 lbs (300 kg)! They eat about 70 lbs. of food, and sometimes a lot more. There are 12 different species of Galapagos tortoises, but two of them are extinct.

The remaining Galapagos tortoises are labeled as "threatend" and "vulnerable."

I also have a framed "oil on canvas" print, as it says on the back. It's also from the Smith collection but looks like it was just framed. I was considering selling it and trying to find out what it was worth. Let me know if you have any more info on it. My email address is gcindylamb@aol.com.

The colour of the sand, the trees and that it has unique animals

ummmm.... The island isn't really part of any continent, unless we get another big freeze and the seawater level drops REALLY low. But then, all of the Caribbean islands would be part of a greater American continent that would stretch from southernmost Agentiana to northernmost Canada.

here's a link showing maps of continental shelves around the world: http://www.edc.uri.edu/lme/clickable-map.htm

One animal found on the Galapagos islands is the Galapagos Penguin(Sphenisicus mendiculus).
