Galapagos tortoises eat grass and other plants which they acquire from grassy meadows.
The Galapagos tortoise is endangered because people eat the eggs they lay and the adult tortoises are hunted for their big shells. Also, the pollution of the Galapagos islands is hurting the Galapagos tortoise as well. Actually, this species is not endangered, but considered "Vulnerable". Strictly protected by law, they are no longer hunted, and their numbers are again increasing. Ten of fifteen subspecies still survive there, and captive born hatchlings are released each year. The islands there are not under any current threat from pollution.
Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda was a Galápagos tortoise.
Tortoises can live for several decades, with some species like the Galapagos tortoise living up to 150 years. The lifespan of a tortoise can vary based on their species, habitat, and level of care provided. Proper diet, housing, and veterinary care are important factors in ensuring a tortoise's longevity.
